  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 8 oz. 2 cups shredded Colby jack, cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and chopped into bits
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley chives or scallions, optional

Method
 

For Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange oven rack to middle of oven.
  2. Lay out individual potato slices on a paper-towel lined surface. Pat slices dry with another layer of paper towels (The drier the potato slices, the crispier chips they’ll make!). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Lay out potato slices about 1/2 inch from each other (not overlapping) and lightly coat with additional cooking spray. Sprinkle each slice with pinches of shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
  3. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with parsley and salt. Transfer chips to a cooling rack and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Serve with Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce (recipe below).
For Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce:
