Tonight my son said, “I love that you are a blogger because you make better food than other moms!”. It cracked me up! He loved these loaded potato wedges and my kids are normally the deciding factor if I share something on here or not.
These are great for a party or even a quick dinner. I made these several times during football season so my boys could have a heavy snack before they headed off to practice.
Yummy Loaded Potato Wedges Recipe
I know you’ve all heard of a loaded baked potato. This are very similar, but you can eat with your hands. Even though these are a perfect family dinner during the school year, you can make them other times too. I plan on making them for New Year’s Eve. They are the perfect finger food for people to grab and go.
Ingredients for Delicious Potato Wedges with Cheese and Bacon
Potatoes– I like to leave the peel on when I make these, but if you don’t like the skin you can take it off.
Olive oil
Colby jack cheese– I like colby jack cheese, but you can use what you have or normally buy. Pepper jack would give these a spicy flavor and sharp cheddar cheese would be great.
Bacon– Make sure to cook it crispy. The easiest way I found to do this is using an air fryer. If you haven’t gotten one yet, don’t wait any longer. This is the one I have.
Green onions
Sour cream– You can susbitite plain greek yogurt to save yourself a few calories.
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions for Loaded Potato Wedges
Step 1
Wash potatoes and cut them into fourths. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add to a microwave safe container. Cook on high for 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Precooking the potatoes in the microwave saves a lot of time and you can finish them up in the oven.
Step 2
Cook bacon and slice green onions while potatoes are cooking. You can cook bacon in the oven too. Here are the instructions for that.
Step 3
Add potatoes to large baggie with olive oil. Shake to coat potatoes and add to a baking sheet pan and place on oven that’s set to 350F.
Step 4
Sprinkle with cheese, crispy bacon, and green onions. Cook for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool and serve with sour cream.
