Who doesn’t love potatoes? This recipe is extra amazing because it’s full of flavor and you can make it all in one pan. I lined my baking sheet with foil and I didn’t even have to wash anything. I don’t have a dishwasher so I’m always down for less dishes to wash. What I love about this is that you can make them as a side for your main dish or you can just eat them as a meal themselves.
I used russet potatoes for this but if you have some leftover red potatoes and want to use them, you can.
Ingredients:
6 pieces bacon
4 russet potatoes, peeled and chopped to 1/2 inch pieces
1 tablespoon salt and pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 cup cheddar, shredded
Instructions:
1) Line baking sheet with foil and lay the bacon across. Place into cold oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Set timer for 20 minutes and check the bacon. If it’s as crispy as you like, remove. If not, cook it on 3 minute intervals until it’s at your desired crisp level.
2) Place bacon on paper towels to drain. Do not get rid of the bacon grease. Add the potatoes to the baking sheet and mix with the grease. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Spread on sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Stir and bake for another 20 minutes. Stir again.
3) Chop bacon and sprinkle over potatoes along with the cheese. Bake for another 3 minutes till cheese melts.

You had me at bacon. LOL
I make a version of this that’s almost identical, except I make it in a cast iron pan. Either way, it’s comfort food to the max. 🙂

I love my cast iron!
Love fixing quick and easy potatoes as a side dish or a stand alone meal
Nothing beats easy!
I love potatoes! And always looking for fresh new ways to make them. I make oven baked fries all the time. This will be a good break from our usual. Looks tasty! Will definitely try.
Thanks Matilda!
Who doesn’t love potatoes? I’d like to have a word with them lol. This is extra delicious because of the bacon. And I love that you can make it all in one pan.
Yes, I used a foil lined pan so clean up was easy!
