Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked bacon bits

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley leaves, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    Prepare Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Once clean, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

      Slice Potatoes: Carefully slice each potato into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8 inch in thickness for optimal crispiness. A mandoline slicer works wonders for achieving uniform slices.

        Season: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Gently toss the slices until they are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

          Bake: Spread the seasoned potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

            Add Toppings: Once the potato rounds are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and bacon bits over each crisp. Return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.

              Serve: After the cheese has melted, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Top each mini loaded baked potato crisp with a dollop of sour cream, a fresh sprinkle of green onions, and crumbled feta cheese if you're using it. Finally, garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve these delightful mini loaded baked potato crisps warm, either as a scrumptious appetizer or a snack. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy, and savory flavors in every bite!
