Loaded potato chips with cheese and bacon Recipe

American · Appetizer · 40 min total

Crispy potato chips loaded with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and all the fixings—a perfect indulgent snack or party appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 large russet potato (about 12 oz), scrubbed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1/4 cup diced tomato (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice potato into 1/4-inch thick rounds (use a mandoline if possible). Pat dry with paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then crumble.
6. Remove chips from oven. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over chips. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
7. Transfer loaded chips to a platter. Top with crumbled bacon, dollops of sour cream, chives, and diced tomato if using. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before baking.
• Feel free to add other toppings like sliced jalapeños, green onions, or a drizzle of ranch dressing.
• Leftover chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, but are best fresh.
