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!

YUKON GOLD ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON, ONION AND GARLIC



Yukon Gold Roasted Potatoes With Bacon, Onion and Garlic image

You can use any kind of potatoes for this but Yukon Gold are simply the best! All ingredients can be adjusted to taste. If you do not like your garlic crispy then just add in two or three whole bulbs garlic (outer layer of skin removed) sprinkle with oil and place in the roasting pan with the potatoes and separate the cloves after roasting. If desired, roast 1-2 pounds fresh mushrooms in the oven with a bit of butter or oil until they are soft and release their juices, remove to a bowl and continue with the recipe, add in the mushrooms to the roasting pan just before serving, I have done this many times if I have fresh mushrooms handy.

POTATOES WITH BACON AND ONION



Potatoes with Bacon and Onion image

Bacon and chicken stock make a rich glaze for peeled fingerling potatoes in a sumptuous side dish. Homemade stock adds body to the glaze, but store-bought also works well.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 pounds medium potatoes, such as fingerling or Yukon Gold, peeled
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 garlic clove
1 dried bay leaf
6 stems thyme
1 plum tomato, cut into large pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 ounces sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 medium onion, halved crosswise and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring potatoes, stock, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, tomato, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a sharp knife, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Strain cooking liquid through a coarse sieve (allowing some thyme leaves through); discard solids.
  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fat is rendered and bacon is just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add onion, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is golden, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Add potatoes to skillet, and pour enough cooking liquid (1 1/2 to 2 cups) to come halfway up sides. Raise heat to medium-high. Simmer, turning potatoes occasionally to coat and seasoning with salt and pepper halfway through, until liquid has reduced and glazes potatoes, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and become crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
  • Use a high-quality bacon: The better the bacon, the better the potatoes will taste.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will add flavor and texture to the potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still slightly firm in the center.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper, and add other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: The potatoes are best served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for crunchy onion bacon potatoes is an easy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they are packed with flavor from the bacon, onions, and seasonings. Whether you are serving them for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these potatoes are sure to be a hit.
