# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 196°C (385°F). Line baking sheets with foil and arrange bacon slices so they do not overlap. Optionally twist bacon strips for extra crispness. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
02 -
Preheat oven to 204°C (400°F). Thoroughly wash and dry potatoes, then slice into 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick rounds. Place slices in a large bowl and toss evenly with olive oil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper ensuring seasoning coats all slices.
03 -
Arrange potato slices in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes, flip slices, then bake an additional 20 minutes until golden and tender.
04 -
Increase oven to broil setting. In a cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish, layer baked potatoes, shredded cheese, bacon pieces, and chopped green onions. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 3-5 minutes.

Remove from oven, dollop with sour cream to taste, and serve immediately.

Twisting the bacon before baking enhances crispiness and texture.
