Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Generously coat 2 6-compartment non-stick muffin tins with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, egg and flour, adding just enough flour so mixture "sticks together". Divide evenly among the prepared muffin compartments. Using the back of a spoon, firmly press potato mixture into bottom and up sides of each compartment, making a "well" in each.
- Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just starting to brown. Remove from oven and divide shredded cheese evenly among cups and top each with crumbled bacon. Return to oven and bake another 5-10 minutes or until "baskets" are golden brown and cheese and bacon is hot, melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. To serve: gently run the tip of a sharp knife blade around rim of each cup to loosen. Release each basket and place on serving platter.
CRISPY CHEESE AND BACON POTATOES

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!

Steps:
- Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry.
- Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
- Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon until well done and crispy. Remove to paper towels to blot, then crumble and set aside. Reserve the bacon drippings in the skillet.

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Potatoes: Choose firm, all-purpose potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold. Scrub them well to remove dirt, but don't peel them, as the skin adds flavor and nutrients.
- Cutting the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. If using baby potatoes, halve or quarter them. For larger potatoes, cut them into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
- Soaking the Potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 10-15 minutes before cooking helps remove excess starch and results in crispier potatoes.
- Cooking the Bacon: Cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy but not burnt. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside, reserving the bacon grease.
- Cooking the Potatoes: Heat the reserved bacon grease in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Season with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices.
- Combining the Ingredients: Once the potatoes are cooked, add the cooked bacon, any vegetables or cheese (if using), and mix well to combine.
- Garnishing: For a finishing touch, garnish the dish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or green onions.
