Ingredients you’ll need
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 green onions, sliced
How to make this dish step by step
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats, toss the diced potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper until they’re evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes turn golden brown and crispy.
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return the tray to the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
After removing the tray from the oven, drizzle sour cream over the potatoes and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
How to store and reheat leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes to restore the crispy texture.
Serving suggestions
Pair this dish with a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It also works wonderfully alongside grilled chicken or steak for a hearty dinner.
Expert tips for success
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces for consistent cooking and crisping.
- Stirring the potatoes halfway through ensures they cook evenly and don’t stick to the baking sheet.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan before serving.
