Ingredients

  • Russet potatoes
  • Ground beef (80/20)
  • Thick-cut bacon
  • Sharp cheddar cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges, ensuring they are even in size for consistent cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
  6. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
  7. Once the beef is cooked, mix in the crispy bacon. Set aside when ready.
  8. When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the beef and bacon mixture evenly over the wedges. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Return the loaded potato wedges to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot.

Nutrition

Keywords: For extra crispy wedges, consider soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes before seasoning and baking. Feel free to add different seasonings or spices to the potato wedges or beef mixture.
