Ingredients
- potatoes - can use Russet potatoes. I used petite gold potatoes. (More on that below.)
- olive oil
- sea salt
- cheddar cheese - shredded
- bacon bits
- chives - dried or fresh
What potatoes should I use?
A Russet potato would be a good potato to use, it is sturdy and will bake will. I used a Gold potato that is petite. We LOVE these potatoes as they cook well and taste amazing. The small size of the potatoes made for great bite sized potato bites. However, that would be up to you and the size potatoes you would want. Russet potatoes would have larger slices.
Slicing the potatoes
Slice the potatoes thin for the best results. The potatoes will cook faster and you will get a crispier potato the thinner you slice them.
So they are sliced thin enough for a crispy potato but not too think to see through. They will be placed on a greased baking sheet then drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. Oh yum.
Bake
The oven will be preheated to 400 degrees and the potatoes will be baked without the toppings on. The cheese will get too melted and crisp before the potatoes are done.
The length of time the potatoes will need to cook is dependent on how thick you make the potatoes. About ¼ inch thick took about 17 minutes to our desired doneness. Then, they were pulled out of the oven and the toppings sprinkled on. They were placed back in the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese was melted.
