This recipe for Loaded Potato Slices is delicious! It’s perfect for big groups because everyone loves potatoes. They do great with Tangy BBQ Meatballs as well for finger foods.
Making appetizers for large groups of people or parties can get expensive. Sometimes after you buy all the ingredients, you’re not only spending a ton but have to spend a long time putting everything together and cooking it. These Loaded Potato Slices are so simple and are very affordable to make, even in large batches.

How To Make Loaded Potato Slices

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle cheese over the tops and put back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Let the potatoes sit for just a couple minutes and then put a dollop of sour cream on top. Sprinkle with some bacon and green onions.
Serve immediately.
