Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Slice potatoes to an even ¼-inch thickness. Pat completely dry on both sides with a clean kitchen towel.
Add potatoes to a large bowl and toss with avocado oil until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet with space between each slice. Sprinkle with salt.
Roast at 425℉ for 20 minutes. Flip each potato slice and roast for another 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Transfer half the roasted potatoes to an oven-safe dish or cast iron skillet. Top with half the cheese and half the crumbled bacon. Add the remaining potatoes, then the rest of the cheese and bacon.
Return to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Top with sour cream and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Potatoes - Yukon Gold, red, or russet potatoes all work. Cut to ¼-inch thickness for the best balance of crispy and tender. Pat dry before tossing with oil so they roast instead of steam.
Cheese - Sharp Irish cheddar like Kerrygold Dubliner gives the most authentic flavor. Any sharp cheddar works. Shred from a block for better melting since pre-shredded has anti-caking agents.
Gluten-free - This recipe is naturally gluten-free. Double check the label on your bacon since some brands use flavorings or coatings that could contain gluten.
