What type of nuclear stove top can soften potatoes in 20 minutes? Otherwise these potatoes slap.
I cant see the ingredients! How much bacon is used?
Use Organic brand red potatos (WallyWorld), and extra sharp cheddar, chives.
Ridiculously yummi
These potatoes were tasty. I agree with the other reviews that next time I would use a sharper cheese. I used chives instead of green onions since that’s what I had in the fridge.
Made this recipe for a dinner party and got rave reviews. Everyone, even the kids liked it.
yummy vegan and nutritious alteration:
sub sweet potatoes for their starchy cousin
sub unsweetened nut milk to avoid unnecessary cholesterol consumption from cow breast milk
sub coconut oil for butter – coconut oil is a much heart healthier tropical fat
sub tempeh/eggplant/coconut meat seasoned like bacon (ie smoked paprika, chili powder, pepper, salt
and as for the cheddar – vegan versions are now available at most large grocery and health food stores (daiya melts the best

yummy! something I will make again. But I added salt, pepper and garlic salt, to the potatoes after they were peeled.Per the suggestions on here I used sharp cheddar. And it was great!
Pretty good-think next time will use a sharper cheese. Bacon gives it a nice flavor-but then again-does it not always????
Tried this recipe but we used jalapeno pepperjack cheese rather than cheddar…it was great!
Pretty good. Family consensus is that it’s worth doing again, but with more cheese or make the cheddar sharp.
