Cheesy Potatoes w/Bacon & Red Onion
  • 5-7 Potatoes (we used red) Washed, Peeled, Cut to Fries
  • Cheddar Cheese (the more the better, the more varied the sharpness, also the better)
  • Half & Half/ Heavy Whipping Cream (about a cup and a half)
  • ~Optional: Red Onions, Bacon (about 5 slices cooked & crumbled) 


Preheat Oven to 400º ~Wash, Peel & Cut Potatoes~ Fill 9x11 Greased Baking Dish w/sliced potatoes~Season Well Season Potatoes.


~Optional Steps~ Cook Bacon & Crumble.  Sautee' Onion in bacon drippings. Mix with potatoes. ~

If you do not prefer Bacon or Onions, omit & go straight to covering the potatoes in cream & cheese.

Pour Heavy Whipping Cream/Half & Half enough to engulf potatoes. Cover with Cheese. (I used a combination of half&half & whipping cream & various degrees of sharp cheddar) 

Cover top with greased foil. Bake for apps. 1 hour. When everything looks good enough to eat, remove foil, add more cheese, return to oven for appx. 10 minutes. 

Allow cheese to set up for about 10 minutes before serving.

EAT!
