Description

These roasted potatoes are very versatile. They can be served at dinner as a side dish or at breakfast/brunch with eggs. The bacon grease provides yummy flavor in every bite along with the cheese, bacon and green onions.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. bacon
• 3 very large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch pieces, about 6 c.
• 1 t. Kosher salt
• 3/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Bake the bacon on a large rimmed baking sheet in a cold oven on the middle rack. Set oven temperature to 400 degrees. At 16 minutes, check the bacon. Remove it from the oven when it is crisp and crunchy, perhaps around 18 minutes.
2. While the bacon is cooking, peel and cut the potatoes.
3. When the bacon is finished, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Leave 2-3 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan and set aside the rest if there is any, for future use or discard it.
