Cheesy Buffalo Roasted Potatoes
These crispy Cheesy Buffalo Roasted Potatoes are the side dish you never knew you needed in your life! Spiced potatoes, tangy hot sauce, gooey cheese, crispy bacon, fresh green onions… and top it all off with a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing!
Buffalo chicken gets a lot of the hype, and I can’t deny, this buffalo chicken dip is always the first one gone at a party. But other things can easily be “buffalo-ized”.
Yeah, not sure that’s a word, but it should be!
These potatoes are a glorious combination of roasted potatoes, loaded baked potato flavor, and buffalo flavor. In my opinion, they’re the ultimate roasted potatoes!
The taters are coated in plenty of seasonings, hot sauce, and oil (so they don’t stick), then roasted until nice and crispy. Then we take it further by smothering them with cheese and bacon, and topping them with green onions and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese to cool them down a little.
I may or may not have made a meal out of these potatoes a time or two. No shame!
But if you’d prefer to make a proper meal, feel free to add some chicken to the baking sheet.
