We all know that the golden combination of potato recipes is cheese, bacon and sour cream. You will absolutely fall in love with this oven baked potato chips when you take your first bite. You can either make it as a snack or the side dish on the dinner table.
Ingredients
Chips
1 large, uniformly-shaped russet potato, scrubbed well and sliced into 1/8″ rounds*
cooking spray
3/4 C. shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
2 T. crumbled bacon (about 2 slices) – I used real bacon bits
chopped parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)
Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce
1 T. ranch dressing
3 T. sour cream
1/4 t. chipotle chili powder
1/8 t. cayenne (adjust more or less depending on how spicy you want).
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. garlic powder
Directions
Chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Bring sliced potatoes to a boil in cold, salted water to cover for 5 minutes. Carefully drain, and transfer slices to a paper-towel lined countertop or cutting board. Pat to dry.
3. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray, and lay out potato slices so they are overlapping on it. Spray lightly with additional cooking spray, then sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese & bacon.
4. Bake 12-14 minutes in preheated oven until cheese is melted & bubbly. Serve with chipotle ranch sauce (recipe below). Serves 2.
*You can use 2 medium-sized potatoes rather than 1 large. Also, I like to leave the skin on but you can peel the potatoes if you prefer.
Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce
Place all ingredients in a small bowl, and stir to combine. Refrigerate any leftovers.
