Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside. Finely chop the green onions for garnish.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.

Step 4

Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer without overcrowding. Depending on skillet size, this may need to be done in batches.

Step 5

Season the potatoes with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring each slice gets a bit of seasoning.

Step 6

Cook the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then flip them carefully with a spatula.

Step 7

Cook for another 8-10 minutes on the other side until the potatoes are tender and golden, adding more butter or oil if needed.

Step 8

Once all the potatoes are cooked and arranged in the skillet, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes, covering them entirely.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the cheese melt completely, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the cheese-covered potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with the chopped green onions.

Step 11

Serve immediately while hot and cheesy!
