ROASTED GARLIC TWICE-BAKED CHEESY POTATOES
I saw the original recipe in a Kraft Food & Family magazine. I have used it numerous times since then, and changed it a bit to meet our tastes. Here's what we usually do. The bacon can be easily subbed with vegetarian bacon, which I do frequently for our vegetarian guests. This is a favorite for our game watching!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place each potato and head of garlic onto its own piece of foil, which should be large enough to fully wrap around the potato or garlic.
- Prick the potatoes several times one each side with a fork. Cut off the top of the garlic to expose the top of the cloves.
- Drizzle each potato and the heads of garlic with olive oil.
- Move to oven and bake for an hour. (I usually place them on a cookie sheet to prevent any oil from dripping and to make it easier to put in and out at once).
- Remove the potatoes and garlic from the oven and reduce heat to 350°F.
- Unwrap each potato and halve the short way (so they look like little cups, as opposed to a long "boat"). Cut off a small bit on each of the smaller, round ends so that they will sit up straight. Gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin edge all the way around the cup. Avoid breaking the potato skin.
- Mash the potato flesh in a medium bowl. Add sour cream, processed cheese (reserve 8 small cubes), and pepper, and beat until fluffy.
- Stuff mixture into the cups - it will be quite full, so mound on top as needed.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until heated through and cheese has melted.
- Top each potato half with a remaining piece of cheese and return for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted.
- Garnish the potatoes with bacon and green onions before serving.

CHEESY GARLIC HERB ROASTED POTATOES
We really loved these simple cheesy herb roasted potatoes. It's a delicious side dish that would be fantastic with roasted chicken or a steak. The combination of herbs pair well together. The cheese on top is a yummy final touch.

Steps:
- In an 8-inch baking dish, toss potatoes with oil, salt and pepper. Roast in a preheated 425F oven for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden. Flatten slightly with a fork.
- VARIATIONS:
- ROASTED POTATOES WITH SALSA: In a bowl, combine 1 cup mild- medium salsa, 1/3 cup chopped black olives, 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese, 2 chopped green onions and 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley. Drop in spoonfuls over roasted potatoes, and top with 3/4 cup crumbled tortilla chips. Return to oven to cook for 8 minutes, or until top is bubbly.
- ROASTED POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY AND LEMON; Remove roasted potatoes from oven. Toss with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoons dried), and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- TIPS: Potatoes can be roasted, flattened, and cooled three to four hours earlier or covered and refrigerated overnight, Top with selected toppings just before final cooking, adding an extra 8-10 minutes to heat through.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for roasting, as they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture when cooked.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are too small, they will overcook and become dry; if they are too large, they will take too long to cook and may not be cooked through.
- Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings before roasting: This will help them crisp up and develop flavor. You can use olive oil, melted butter, or a combination of both. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other herbs or spices you like.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Stir the potatoes halfway through roasting: This will help them cook evenly. If you don't stir them, the potatoes on the bottom of the pan may overcook while the potatoes on the top remain undercooked.
- Add the cheese at the end of roasting: This will help it melt and get bubbly without overcooking.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy. You can garnish them with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Roasted cheesy potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
