Best 6 Loaded Fried Potatoes Recipes

LOADED FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in large skillet. Add potatoes, onion, parsley, salts, and pepper. Let it cook down a little.
• 2. Add sausage, mushrooms, and bacon. Continue to cook until potatoes are tender and browned.
• 3. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

LOADED BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
• Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
• Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
• Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
• Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

LOADED POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Arrange waffle fries in a greased 15 x 10 inch baking pan. Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Sprinkle with steak seasoning; toss to coat. Top with cheese, onions, and bacon bits. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

LOADED HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the onions, potatoes and garlic: In a large bowl, toss the onions in 2 tablespoons oil, season generously with salt and pepper and spread on one side of a sheet pan. In the same bowl, toss the potatoes in 1 tablespoon oil, season generously with salt and pepper and spread on the other side of the sheet pan. Toss the garlic in the same bowl with a little oil, season with salt and pepper and add to the sheet pan. Bake in the center of the oven until completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 40 minutes. Set aside to let cool.
• Cook the peppers: In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil until hot. Add the peppers with a generous pinch of salt and cook over medium heat until tender and slightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Cook the home fries: Add the onions and garlic to the peppers and stir to combine. "Crush" and break the potatoes into pieces with your hands or the bottom of a pan and add them and any juices from the pan to the peppers and onions. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Cook the potato mixture over medium-high heat until the bottom is browned, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the Parmesan and vinegar. Top with the Cheddar. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the cheese is browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt just before serving.

Garnish with fresh cilantro sprig.

LOADED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
• Place potatoes into a large pot of lightly salted water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and return them to the pot.
• Mash butter into the potatoes with a potato masher or electric hand mixer until melted completely into the potatoes; add sour cream and continue to beat until combined. Crumble bacon into the potato mixture; add Cheddar cheese and chives and stir. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
