List of Ingredients

◦  2 medium potatoes, Yukon gold or russet, washed and dried
◦  2 tsp olive oil
◦  1 tsp smoked paprika
◦  ¼ tsp chili powder
◦  ¼ tsp onion powder
◦  ¼ tsp garlic powder
◦  ⅛ tsp cumin
◦  Coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper
◦  1 slice center cut bacon, cooked and finely chopped
◦  ⅓ cup sharp shredded Cheddar cheese
◦  2 Tbsp diced scallions
◦  1 Tbsp sliced pickled jalapeño, jarred or canned


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up, if desired. Lightly coat with cooking spray.

Cut each potato lengthwise into ¼-inch thin slices; then cut each slice into ¼-inch fries. In a large bowl, combine cut potatoes and oil; toss well. Add seasoning (paprika to salt and pepper). Toss to coat.

Place potatoes in a single layer; bake in the bottom third of the oven 10 minutes; turn and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp and browned. Remove from oven, top with Cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeños, scallions, and bacon bits and return to the oven for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
