Roasted Potatoes With Bacon Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Return potatoes to the pot; cover with a lid and shake pot vigorously, about 1 minute. Uncover and cool potatoes until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Peel potatoes and cut them crosswise into chunks.
• Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until most of the fat has melted and bacon is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
• Brush the bottom of a shallow 10x15-inch baking pan with half of the bacon fat and olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over potatoes and arrange in the baking pan.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until golden brown on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Turn potatoes over in baking pan. Top with bacon pieces, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and garlic. Drizzle remaining bacon fat on top.
• Return to the preheated oven and continue roasting until Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place potatoes in baking dish. Mix dressing, vinegar and thyme in small bowl. Pour half of the dressing mixture over potatoes; mix lightly. Refrigerate remaining dressing mixture.
• Bake 40 to 50 min. or until fork tender. Remove from oven; cool completely.
• Combine potatoes, bacon, cheeses and remaining dressing mixture in medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with additional fresh thyme before serving, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix dressing, bacon, and cheese in bowl. Add potatoes and toss.
• Spoon into greased 13x9 inch baking dish and cover with foil.
• Bake 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake additional 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wash the potatoes and boil them until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut in half. Meanwhile, in a pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain the potatoes and place them in an oven-safe pan with the bacon, bacon fat, and rosemary sprigs. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, remember to stir the pan once or twice so that the potatoes are evenly browned and the bacon fat completely coats the potatoes.

Steps:

• Mix dressing, cheese and bacon bits in large bowl; add potatoes and toss.
• Spoon into lightly greased baking dish; cover; bake 40 minutes at 350°F.
• Remove cover; bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley ( or fresh rosemary ).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lowest position.
• Generously cover potatoes with cold water in a 4-quart pot and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 12 minutes. Drain. Cool potatoes to warm, then peel and cut in half crosswise.
• Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until cooked through but still flexible. Drain on paper towels, reserving fat in skillet.
• Brush bottom of a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan with oil and half of reserved bacon fat. Sprinkle potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and arrange, cut sides down, in baking pan. Bake until undersides are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375ºF. Turn potatoes over, then sprinkle with cheese, bacon, and garlic and drizzle with remaining bacon fat (if fat congeals, reheat briefly over medium heat). Bake until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
• Cook's notes:
• • Potatoes can be boiled and peeled 1 day ahead and chilled in an airtight container.
• • Potatoes, without cheese, bacon, garlic, and bacon fat, can be baked 6 hours ahead and kept, loosely covered, at room temperature. Turn potatoes over and proceed with recipe, baking a little longer. If baking at same time as stuffing, leave oven temperature at 425°F.
