A quick and easy snack featuring crispy thinly sliced potatoes topped with nutty Dubliner cheese and smoky bacon, perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 ounces Dubliner cheese, shredded
  • 5 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional extras:
  • 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Dairy-free cheese and sour cream alternatives if needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Slice potatoes thinly (1/8 inch) using a mandoline or sharp knife. Rinse in cold water to remove starch and pat dry thoroughly.
  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 baking sheet or on a wire rack over the sheet to allow air circulation. Avoid overlapping.
  5. Bake potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. While potatoes bake, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (8-10 minutes). Drain on paper towels and crumble.
  7. Once potatoes are crispy, sprinkle shredded Dubliner cheese evenly over them, then top with crumbled bacon.
  8. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley. Add optional jalapeños or diced tomatoes if desired.
  10. Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream on the side.

Notes

Use firm block-style Dubliner cheese for better melting. Dry potato slices thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent sogginess. Cook bacon separately in a skillet for best crispness. Adding cheese and bacon at the end prevents sogginess. For extra cheesy melt, mix mozzarella with Dubliner cheese.
