BAKED BABY POTATOES WITH CHEESE AND BACON!
Mmm Mmm – this recipe, y’all! This recipe with baby potatoes, seasonings, bacon and melted cheese turned out SO GOOD! My entire family absolutely loved it! Let me show you how to make this simple and show stopping side dish!
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.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- baby potatoes
- small onion
- seasoned salt
- garlic salt
- butter
- three cheese blend
- cooked & crumbled bacon
- sliced green onion
HOW TO MAKE BACON CHEDDAR POTATOES:
Preheat oven to 400f degrees. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl combine potatoes, onion, seasoning salt and garlic salt.
Stir until the potatoes are coated with the seasoning.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
Dot the top of potatoes with cubed butter. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes (until potatoes are fork tender.)
Take it out of the oven (using oven mitts, cause it’s hot, right?) then add shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
Put it back in the oven, uncovered, for another 8-10 minutes (until cheese is melted.) Then sprinkle the top with sliced green onions before serving.

Lumpy red mashed potatoes with lumps.
I have never met a potato I didn't like. Love them all ways!
We like them bakes, mashed twice baked, gnocci
I love making hot, cheesy potato soup!!
I love potatoes-mashed, roasted, as French fries, any way!
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.
My favorite potatoes are in a cold creamy potato salad. Especially on a very hit day. Ice cold does the trick.
We love potatoes and have them every week. We have them every way you can cook them
Roasted potatoes are my favorite!
If a potato is on my plate, I'll eat it. Not picky about the preparation. Can't get enough.
Love the contest.
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!
I love them every way. Yum
Mashed potatoes are my all time favorite! Love you and your blog!
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 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!
My favorite way to eat potatoes is to boil them and eat with lots of butter salt and pepper
Mash 'em, add LOTS of sour cream, REAL BUTTER, bacon, and cheddar cheese…..mmmm! Heart attack on a plate, but they are absolutely INCREIBLE!
Looks delicious!
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 just love Roasted potatoes they have such a wonderful flavor… can't wait to try these!
These look like a wonderful comfort side dish for a crisp fall evening meal.
I enjoy eating the small potatoes; quartered, wrapped with Maple Flavored Bacon, placed on baking sheet and drizzled with oil and seasoning mixture.
Can't wait to try this recipe
Love these babies roasted! So yummy!
