TIPS FOR MAKING CHEESY BACON POTATOES:

  • 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. However, you can sprinkle some RANCH DRESSING MIX or your own favorite seasoning blend if you prefer.
  • If you don’t have time to fry up bacon, you can use bacon pieces or microwaveable bacon as a substitute.

  6. 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!

  7. 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!
