Loaded Potato Rounds
Loaded Potato Rounds have all of the tastes you love in a loaded potato skin but without all of the time-consuming prep work. Great for snacking while watching football or as a side dish for dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes washed and dried
- 2-3 tbsp butter melted
- salt I like to use kosher but whatever you have on hand is good
- pepper
- 1 1/2- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 3-4 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 package cooked real bacon pieces or bits
- sour cream optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cut the ends of the potatoes off and discard. Cut the rest of the potatoes into 1/2 inch slices.
- Brush both sides pf the potato slices with the melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until lightly browned. Flip the potato rounds over about halfway through cooking time (15-20 minutes) to brown the other side.
- When potato rounds are done, top with cheese, bacon and green onions.
- Pop the baking sheet back into the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Top with a small amount of sour cream, if desired. Serve immediately.
