Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup Sour cream
- 2 Jalapeños sliced

Instructions
Step 1 – Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and slice the potatoes into about ½ inch thick wedges.
- Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Note: Make sure each wedge is evenly coated for the best flavor!
Step 2 – Bake the Potatoes
- Arrange the potato wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Warning: Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
Step 3 – Add the Toppings
- Remove the potatoes from the oven.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the hot potatoes so it melts beautifully.
- Tip: The heat from the potatoes will melt the cheese perfectly.
Step 4 – Final Touches
- Top with sour cream, jalapeños, red onion, and cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for a tangy kick.
Notes
- To keep your potatoes extra crispy, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Give them some space to breathe!
- For an extra kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper along with the paprika.
