Loaded Baby Reds

Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, give those baby red potatoes a good rinse under cold water to remove any dirt.
- Once cleaned, cut each potato in half and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add in the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and the edges are crispy.
- After removing the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the hot potatoes. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let the cheese melt.
- While the cheese is melting, prepare your toppings by mixing the sour cream, chopped green onions, and crispy bacon bits in a small bowl.
- Once the cheese has beautifully melted, take the potatoes out of the oven and drizzle the sour cream mixture over the top. Feel free to add more green onions and bacon on top for an extra pop of flavor!
- Serve your Loaded Baby Reds warm and watch them disappear in no time. Enjoy every bite!
