Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 8 slices Bacon
- 2 cups (shredded) Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on.
Step 3
Toss the potato cubes in a large bowl with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
Step 5
While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and the remaining salt and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture becomes a creamy sauce. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and add the chopped bacon. Toss gently to coat.
Step 8
Transfer the cheesy bacon-coated potatoes to a serving dish or an oven-safe dish for reheating later if needed.
Step 9
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the top of the potatoes for a fresh garnish.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Bacon Potatoes!
