Take note
Be careful when handling hot ingredients and always use caution when working with sharp knives or kitchen tools.

1

Prep the Potatoes

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and scrub the potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the potatoes into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss until the slices are evenly coated.

2

Bake to Perfection

Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they're not overlapping to ensure even cooking. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your slices and your oven's performance.

3

Add the Cheese and Bacon

Once the potato slices are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crispy crumbled bacon over each potato slice. Feel free to get generous with the toppings - the cheesier, the better!

4

Broil for Melty Perfection

Preheat your oven's broiler setting. Place the potato slices back in the oven under the broiler and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning the toppings. Once the cheese is melted to gooey perfection, remove the potato slices from the oven.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Carefully transfer the cheesy bacon potato skin chips to a serving platter and let them cool slightly. Serve them up while they're still warm and crispy. These chips are best enjoyed with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce. Get ready for a flavor explosion in every bite!
