# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub russet potatoes thoroughly. Slice into evenly sized rounds for even cooking.

Arrange potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each slice with melted butter. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway if desired, until potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
04 -
Remove potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions evenly over the slices.
05 -
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately with sour cream on the side for dipping.
# Tips:
01 -
For extra crispiness, flip the potato slices halfway through the first baking session.

Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and creamier texture.
03 -
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow air to circulate and ensure crisp edges.
