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!

ONE PAN BREAKFAST POTATOES AND BACON



One Pan Breakfast Potatoes and Bacon image

The best ever oven-roasted breakfast potatoes and turkey bacon all cooked on one sheet pan

Provided by Chelsea, adapted from The Pioneer Woman

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 slices center cut or hickory smoked bacon
1 and 1/2 pounds red potatoes, (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 red bell pepper, (chopped)
1 green bell pepper, (chopped)
1 yellow onion, (chopped)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon roasted garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1/2 teaspoon EACH: ground chili powder, paprika, ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried parsley
Optional: freshly ground pepper, fresh parsley

Steps:

  • BACON: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously spray (with nonstick cooking spray) a very large sheet pan. Lay out 10 slices of bacon. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is at desired crispiness. Remove from the oven and using a metal spatula, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate. Set aside. Once the bacon has cooled off a bit, coarsely chop it and set aside.
  • VEGGIES: Meanwhile, wash and prepare the veggies. Chop the red potatoes, peppers, and onion and then place the prepared veggies on the same sheet pan you used to cook the bacon on (don't discard the bacon grease!). Add the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and dried parsley. Toss well to ensure all the veggies are well coated and tossed in seasonings. Spread out the veggies so they aren't overlapping (this will cause veggies to steam not roast)
  • BAKE: Bake for 15 minutes, toss the veggies with a metal spatula. Return to the oven for 15 more minutes. Remove and toss again. Return, once more for 5-10 minutes or until veggies are crisp tender.
  • ENJOY: Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper before serving if needed. Add the chopped bacon on top and, if desired, freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy hot!

BACON-FRIED BREAKFAST POTATOES



Bacon-Fried Breakfast Potatoes image

Everything is better with bacon! A good down-South breakfast side dish. Don't eat these potatoes everyday for breakfast or you will have a short life! I make these for my family on special occasions like a birthday brunch--and you have to use a cast iron skillet to get these perfect.

Provided by Larney

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Potatoes

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large russet potatoes, peeled
4 slices thick-sliced bacon
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®), or to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder, or to taste
1 cup buttermilk ranch dressing, or to taste

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and then slice into 1/8-inch half moons. Place slices in a bowl of ice water to prevent them from browning while you cook the bacon.
  • Cook bacon in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Drain potatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder and toss to coat.
  • Add potatoes to the bacon grease and cook over medium-low hear, stirring occasionally to make sure they aren't burning, until nicely browned with crispy edges and soft insides, 30 to 35 minutes. Cover the pan as needed to speed up the process.
  • Remove potatoes from the pan. Drizzle with ranch dressing and garnish with bacon crumbles.

3 Yukon gold potatoes, medium dice
2 garlic cloves, smashed
Kosher salt
3 slices bacon, cut into lardons
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more if needed

  • Put the bacon and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH BACON AND EGGS



Twice-Baked Potatoes with Bacon and Eggs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large russet potatoes
6 slices bacon
1/4 cup milk, warmed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for topping
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pierce the potatoes in a few places with a fork; place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave, turning halfway through, until tender, about 16 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving the drippings. Roughly chop 4 slices and break the other 2 slices in half; set aside.
  • Slice off the top 1/4 inch of the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop the flesh from 3 potatoes into a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Repeat with the remaining potato but discard the flesh. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings and the warmed milk to the bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Stir in the cheese, scallions, parsley, chopped bacon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Season the inside of the potato skins with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among the skins, then press the back of a spoon down the center of the filling to create a long, deep well. Brush the outside of the skins with the remaining bacon drippings and transfer to the baking sheet.
  • One at a time, crack an egg into a ramekin or teacup, then carefully pour into each potato (it's OK if some of the egg white overflows). Transfer to the oven and bake until the whites are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with more scallions and the halved bacon strips.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy and well-browned potatoes, be sure to cut them into uniform 1-inch pieces. This ensures even cooking throughout.
  • Utilize a large skillet that offers ample space for the potatoes to spread out and avoid overcrowding. This will promote proper browning and prevent steaming.
  • For an enticing blend of flavors, opt for a combination of olive oil and butter as the cooking fat. Butter contributes a rich and savory taste, while olive oil adds a touch of heart-friendly fats.
  • Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This step enhances their natural flavors and creates a well-rounded taste profile.
  • Refrain from stirring the potatoes excessively during cooking. Allow them to develop a golden-brown crust undisturbed. Gentle tossing at strategic intervals is sufficient to ensure even browning.
  • Incorporate your preferred seasonings and herbs towards the end of the cooking process to preserve their delicate flavors. Examples include garlic, paprika, thyme, or rosemary.
  • If using pre-cooked bacon, ensure it is fully crisped before adding it to the potatoes. This prevents the bacon from becoming soggy and compromising the overall texture of the dish.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider using smoked bacon or pancetta instead of traditional bacon.
  • If desired, top the cooked potatoes with shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream for a delightful finishing touch.
