CRISPY CHEESE AND BACON POTATOES



Crispy Cheese and Bacon Potatoes image

Crispy roasted potatoes, topped with melting cheese and plenty of crisp bacon are a great side dish for any meal.

Provided by Mary Younkin

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound bacon
3 extra large russet potatoes (peeled and chopped into 1/2"-3/4" pieces, about 6 cups worth)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend shredded cheeses
3 green onions (sliced thin)

Steps:

  • COOK THE BACON: Spread the bacon strips out across a large rimmed baking sheet pan and place on the middle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature to 400 degrees. Set a timer for 16 minutes and check the bacon. Remove it from the oven when it is as crisp or crunchy as you like. I remove ours at 18 minutes and it's a great balance of chewy crunch. If you like your bacon crispy enough to crumble, you will probably want to cook it another minute past that.
  • COOK THE POTATOES: While the bacon is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. There should be 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease left on the sheet pan. (If there is more than that, drain off a bit.) Put the potatoes on the pan and toss with tongs to thoroughly coat them in the bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, stir well and bake an additional 20 minutes. Stir again, making sure that none of the potatoes are sticking to the tray. Bake another 15 minutes.
  • Chop the bacon into small pieces. Remove the potatoes from the oven, stir again and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and chopped bacon. Return the tray to the oven and bake an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Top with sliced green onions just before serving. Enjoy!

Categories     Cheese     Onion     Potato     Side     Bake     Bacon     Winter     Bon Appétit     Missouri     Sugar Conscious     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup packed grated hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook chopped bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Combine bacon, potatoes and onion in prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over and dot with butter. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake until potatoes and onions are very tender, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat broiler. Uncover baking dish and broil until top of potato mixture is brown and crisp, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make the sauce grainy.
  • If you don't have bacon drippings, you can use butter or olive oil instead. However, bacon drippings will give the potatoes a more flavorful taste.
  • If you like your potatoes extra crispy, bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • To make the potatoes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe instructions. Then, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the potatoes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are warmed through.
