Ingredients

  • Sprinkle on cheese and crumbled bacon and bake for 2 more minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes. Idaho russets give the best crunch, but Yukon golds work too.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese has additives that prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Homemade bacon crumbles taste better. Packaged bacon crumbles work in a pinch, but fresh bacon adds unbeatable flavor.
  • Piping sour cream is a game changer! Spoon it into a sandwich bag, snip a corner, and drizzle it over the wedges for an Insta-worthy look.
  • Not a sour cream fan? Try ranch dressing or even guacamole for a tasty twist!
