Loaded Baked Potato Rounds

I found this great side dish recipe the other day and couldn't wait to try it.  The weather is turning nice and grilling is a great way to enjoy these nice spring days.  This recipe is the perfect side dish to some grilled meat for dinner.  We grilled hamburger steaks this evening and had these little potato rounds with it.  One of the great things about this recipe is you can make as many or as few as you want.  I'm thinking this is going to be a great recipe for football season.

You can add your favorite potato topping.

 I ended up only using two of the potatoes, you can  make as many or as little as you need.  The directions are the same.

 Cut your potatoes into 1/2 inch rounds.  I liked the thicker ones my husband liked the thiner, crunchier ones.  This is also a good alternative to frying french fries too.

 Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil.

 Sprinkle with a little kosher or sea salt

 I added some pepper because we really like pepper.  Place in a preheated 400 oven.  Bake for 15 minutes.

 While they are baking chop up some green onions.

 After 15 minutes take out of the oven and turn over and put back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

 Cook some bacon and chop it while the potatoes are baking.

 Take the potatoes out of the oven and top with some cheese.  Use any cheese you like.  It will melt pretty good when you put it on top.

 Add some bacon and put back in the oven for a minute or two to let the cheese melt.

 Then top with green onions.

And a little sour cream.
