Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 large russet potatoes
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.0 none Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1.0 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup cooked bacon
  • 0.25 cup sliced green onions
  • 0.25 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Skillet: Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up while you prepare the potatoes.
  • Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Cook the Potatoes: Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes without moving them to allow them to develop a crispy bottom.
  • Flip the Wedges: Use tongs to flip the potato wedges over and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown on both sides.
  • Add Cheese and Bacon: When the potatoes are cooked through, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve immediately with sour cream on the side, if desired.
