Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized potatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup sour cream
• 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Additional toppings as desired (e.g., diced tomatoes, chopped broccoli, etc.)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
3. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
4. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them into ½-inch thick rounds. Place the potato slices in a single layer on a greased baking sheet.
5. Drizzle the potato slices with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Bake the potato slices in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
7. While the potato slices are baking, prepare the sour cream sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
8. Remove the potato slices from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
9. Spread the sour cream sauce evenly over the potato slices, leaving a small border around the edges.
10. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream sauce.
11. Top the pizza with the crumbled cooked bacon and thinly sliced green onions.
12. Add any additional desired toppings, such as diced tomatoes or chopped broccoli.
13. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
14. Remove the baked potato pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
15. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired, and enjoy!
