Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (feel free to mix it up with your favorite cheeses)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes:
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can either peel them if you prefer or leave the skins on for extra texture. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). The smaller the cubes, the quicker they cook. - Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they’re crispy. This usually takes about 5–7 minutes. Once crispy, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. After they’ve cooled slightly, crumble the bacon into smaller pieces and set them aside.
