BAKED BABY POTATOES WITH CHEESE AND BACON!
Mmm Mmm – this recipe, y’all! This recipe with babypotatoes, 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 theseasoning 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.

Sounds so good but
All I have are russet potatoes. Can I cut them in larger slices and put on a rimmed sheet pan?Reply
You can substitute the russet for the red potatoes in this recipe, just cut them to be about the same size. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

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!

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!

My favorite way to eat taters are baked on the bbq with butter, sour cream, bacon pieces and chives.
