CHEESY ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON
Garlic, cheddar cheese, and bacon-wrapped golden potatoes are cooked to perfection. Definitely a must-have for any event.
A loaded potato is the only thing I can’t get enough of.
Butter, cheese, and bacon flavor the fluffy white interior while it’s baked to perfection.
I was looking for a fresh way to serve potatoes for Thanksgiving, and then I came across the idea of sprucing up the classic side dish with a unique twist.
I present to you my Cheesy Bacon Roasted Potatoes. Rich tastes make it a show-stopper.
You’ll notice this by the fact that I cooked the potatoes in the bacon drippings I had saved.
I don’t think it’s required, but it does give the dish an extra layer of flavor that I enjoy. And if there’s one day of the year when I’m willing to splurge, it’s Thanksgiving.
A spoonful of sour cream would be a lovely addition to this side dish.
Bacon rubbed with coarse black pepper is another option for gourmet dinners.
If those flavors appeal to you, Apple wood and hickory-smoked varieties are also available.
This potato side dish is quite adaptable, so have fun experimenting!
In terms of cheese, I went with a sharp cheddar, but any kind will do.
Take a look at these golden-hued, flawlessly cooked tiny potatoes, cheese, and bacon bits…
Isn’t it time for Thanksgiving to hurry up?
