Bacon Cheddar Potatoes

Mmm Mmm – this recipe, y’all! This recipe with little potatoes, seasonings, bacon & melted cheese turned out SO GOOD! My entire family absolutely loved it! It was incredibly simple to put together because I used these little creamer potatoes. No boiling involved! Plus, creamer potatoes are pre-washed and the skins are thin and tender so I can skip those tedious steps of washing and peeling – hallelujah!Bacon Cheese Little Potatoes in a square pan topped with bacon and sliced green onions

These little potatoes are nutritious too. Ok, granted, this recipe is covered in cheese and bacon (giggles) but this is one of those fun recipes you only make occasionally that you know will be a guaranteed hit with everyone! Little Potatoes are naturally fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free & gluten-free! Normally I keep a bag on hand for oven roasting. They also have easy microwaveable options too that come with the seasoning in the package. Perfect for a busy weeknight! That Garlic Parsley one below is one of my favorites.Microwaveable Little PotatoesSo back to this recipe. I love the seasoning in this. It’s my all-purpose seasoning for oven roasting potatoes too. So, I figured it would work great with this recipe and it did not disappoint. If you don’t have time to fry up bacon, you can use bacon bits or microwaveable bacon as a substitute.Delicious Bacon Cheddar Potatoes recipe from The Country Cook #sidedish

    This recipe will definitely be on my soon to make list. Looks DELISH! I love reading your blog and you do an awesome job. I love boiling my potatoes and putting some good green beans in with them and some EVOO and seasoning. Now I'm hungry for potatoes!!!!

    These potatoes look yummy. I love potatoes. Fried, mashed, loaded baked, augratin, scalloped you name it I love them. This recipe I am going to try with my family and thanks so much for sharing it.

    This sounds amazing & looks even better! I love potatoes in all its forms, including sweet potatoes!, but homemade creamy yet chunky mashed potatoes are the best! Creamy horseradish & roasted garlic is my little twist on it plus using skin-on potatoes.

    This is one of my favorite potato recipes! I usually don't even measure the ingredients. Just season to taste and dot with butter. So yummy!

    I love them chopped, roasted with butter, salt and pepper. When they are browned and have some crispy edges, I pour ranch dressing over them and stir until coated. Yum! My whole family loves these potatoes and they go very well with a steak!

    I love potatoes nearly every way you could imagine, but my favorite way has to be baked – and fully loaded, of course! Thanks, Brandie!

    I love mashed potatoes – the ultimate comfort food – but potatoes of all types are often on our table. These cheesy bacon potatoes look delicious!

    You had me at potato! I love them mashed, baked, as a potato salad, hash browns, french fries, potato casserole, and roasted! Yum!

    I can't find the Little Potato Company anywhere in my area. I love potatoes any way they are cooked. My very favorite tho are baked and loaded with cheese, bacon, pineapple, sour cream and butter. Don't laugh until you try them. I discovered adding the pineapple by mistake so it turned out to be a great different addition.

    I love fried potatoes with onions but because that isn't too healthy we don't make it very often so instead I oven roast them with a bit of sea salt and rosemary.

    I love all kinds of potatoes. My Grandma was from the south and there was nothing better than fried potatoes in a cast iron skillet in her house. I can eat all varieties prepared any way imagined…fried, baked, roasted, smashed, mashed, au gratin, scalloped. The list goes on and on. I have had these same potatoes several times. They are easy to use with with all the info on the package. My teen aged kids make them when I'm not home to cook
    Best of all, I'm on the HMR weight loss program, and these are on my plan…as much as I want. Who ever heard of dieting and being able to have all the potatoes you want???
    Love how you have used and added to these…sorry I wrote a book, just got so excited about these potatoes ????

    I love all potatoes really, but if I have to choose, I pick garlic mashed potatoes. I'm not talking about a little garlic either, more like a whole bulb! 😀

    Ahhhh potatoes. I could eat them, in any form, all day every day. Of course I'd be ten thousand pounds, but yum.

    I enjoy eating the small potatoes; quartered, wrapped with Maple Flavored Bacon, placed on baking sheet and drizzled with oil and seasoning mixture.

    I love potatoes any way, but one of my favorites is on the grill in foil with butter, onions and a homemade season salt. It is a summer favorite. Thank you for my chance to enter.

    I have loved mashed potatoes since before I had teeth I am told. I will admit however that a loaded baked potato is the best thing when eating a steak. This recipe could do the trick however!

    Maybe because we were camping, IDK, everything seems to taste better when "eating out", but the best were cubed potatoes, onions and various veggies marinated in Italian dressing, wrapped in foil and cooked over a campfire.

    I love potatoes almost any way, but probably enjoy hash browns the most. The posted recipe sounds wonderful. I hadn't heard of "Little Potatoes" before but have them on my list for my next shopping trip!

    My favorite potatoes are in a cold creamy potato salad. Especially on a very hit day. Ice cold does the trick.

    I love potatoes anyway you use them. But if I have to pick I would choose my cheesy potato casserole. Make it every Christmas for the family Christmas and throughout the year with variations of mix ins depending on the season.

    I love all potatoes! I guess I would pick a good old baked potato with butter and sour cream as my favorite but really they all are!

    My favorite way to prepare potatoes is a hash with regular and sweet potatoes fried with onions, green and red peppers and topped with an over easy egg

    O I love potatoes anyway I can get them! Anything from potato salad to potato soup to baked potato. It's all good to me! One of my all time favorite has to be potato salad!!

    I actually dont have one favorite way to eat taters. Just love potatoes in this house no matter how they are cooked. I do love making diced nacho fries though. But we have potatoes so many different ways with not one being the favorite .

    I am a huge potato fan. We like them best baked and roasted. I had the little potato company garlic and parsley ones a few weeks ago and we all loved them.

    There s no such thing as a bad potato…We love them mashed baked, scalloped, baked in packets…You name it, we'll eat it!

    Nicole, you sure can. You would just need to cut the potatoes smaller if they are not the creamer variety. Free potatoes, I'm jealous!

    Will this recipe work fine with regular potatoes?? We do seasonal work on a potato farm here in Colorado and we get so many free potatoes every time we work so I've been scouring the internets for potato recipes and I know my husband would just LOVE this! Thank you for sharing!
