Cheddar and Sour Cream Roasted Potatoes have all the flavors of Cheddar and Sour Cream Potato Chips on freshly roasted potatoes! Made with 100% natural powdered cheddar and sour cream and totally craveable! Cheddar and Sour Cream Roasted Potatoes are my new favorite side dish and I have to say I am pretty obsessed with them! They taste like the Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream potato chips but without any crazy ingredients and on deliciously crispy, hot, fluffy roasted potato wedges!

As a kind in junior high my school had the strangest after school snacks. One of the combos they had were cheddar and sour cream nachos. A bag of Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream chips were opened and nacho cheese sauce was added with a small spoonful of sour cream to finish it off. I know to a person who didn’t grow up with such a combination of ingredients it may sound awful, but it is one of the best memories of food in that school. Well, that and I did help out in the kitchen for about six months in the seventh grade and it was a lot of fun. I was meant to be cooking, even at a young age!

Even now if I have the ingredients on hand I always enjoy a bowl of these crazy nachos. These Cheddar and Sour Cream Roasted Potatoes have replaced those crazy cravings for me too!

Much like the awesome Cheddar Popcorn you all LOVE on this page (seriously, on an almost daily basis I see 2 or 3 of you ordering the 100% natural cheddar powder) these Cheddar and Sour Cream Roasted Potatoes are made with natural ingredients and still taste awesome! Want another totally nostalgic, but 100% real ingredient recipe you’ll love? Try my Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars. I dare you to try them and tell me they aren’t just like what you remember as a kid.

We originally made a giant tray of these potatoes, enough to fill up three plates this size. Then while I was setting up the shooting area and putting the little one down for a nap, potatoes started disappearing.

  1. The powdered cheese & sour cream may seem to be a major investment, but they’re shelf-stable & they’ll be around for this & other recipes, ‘down the road’.
    They’ll be useful ‘idea-makers’ for MANY other recipes!

  2. I followed this recipe exactly. I even weighed my potatoes and bought the cheddar and sour cream powders from your link.

    I carefully followed the recipe without adding ideas of my own.

    After sprinkling the dry ingredients, I expected them to melt or something, but they just stayed in little lumps on the potatoes.
    They were OK but nothing to brag about. What did I do wrong?

  3. Wow love the idea of those potatoe. But, the prices on those powders are quite high. That dish has gotvbto ge expensive and they are hard to find. Any suggestions?

  4. Hi!  I’m new here and so many amazing recipes are just waiting for me to try!  I’ve never heard of sour cream powder – is that something I can buy in the store or where can I get it?

    1. I’m so glad you’re enjoyin the site, welcome! I’ve added a link to the recipe card of where I get the powder from. Just click on it and it’ll take you to the site. 🙂 Look forward to seeing you around the site.

  5. I’m embarrassed to admit but, potatoes are my favorite. They are a staple in our home, this looks amazing!

  6. Oh this was so delicious. I upgraded my version with some bacon bits and black pepper. So good! Thank you for sharing.

  7. Whoa. You had me at potatoes. And cheese. And sour cream. And if they really do taste like the potato chips, I am in deep trouble–I may be eating these every day! Thanks for making my mouth water! :o)

  8. Pinned!! These look and sound soooo amazing, and I’m thrilled to have a use for my cheddar cheese powder that isn’t popcorn! Nothing against popcorn of course. Just nice to have another option! 🙂

  14. These look so good! My kids are huge potato fans, and would really enjoy these. Something different and fun for them!

  15. I LOVE those cheddar and sour cream chips, what an awesome idea to put that flavor onto roasted potatoes! Maybe slightly better for you too 🙂

  16. My husband is a huge potato fan! These sound like potatoes that would be right up his alley for dinner with a steak!

  17. I tell you, I just love potatoes but sometimes feel like I always make the same ones, so this is awesome. I love the addition of cheddar, since it’s my favorite cheese. LOL. Thanks for sharing
