Yummy in my Tummy Recipes: Garlic Roasted Potatoes with Bacon

Tyler got home from his weekend of interviews lastnight! And I made a FABULOUS dinner for him! The main course was Meatloaf, with a side of Garlic Roasted Potatoes with Bacon!

These potatoes are DELICIOUS!!! Amazing flavor with the garlic, bacon and season salt YUM!! These are definitely a MUST try!!

GARLIC ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON:
*1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
*1/2 lbs Hickory smoked, thick sliced bacon
*3 1/2 lbs Potatoes
*2 cloves garlic, minced
*1/4 Cup Shredded cheese
*Season Salt
*Pepper
*Parsley

Peel Potatoes and cut in half. In a large pot, boil potatoes. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until fork tender. Drain and allow to cool.

Slice bacon into about 1/2 in. pieces and cook in a skillet until golden. When done place bacon on a paper-towel covered plate.
Reserve Bacon Drippings

Preheat oven to 425.
Mince garlic.
On the bottom of a baking sheet brush on the olive oil and half of bacon drippings.

Cut potatoes into bite sized pieces and place onto baking sheet. Sprinkle with Season Salt and Pepper and cook in oven for 35-40 mintues. You can rotate the potatoes halfway through if you would like. I did not do this and they turned out fine.

Remove potatoes and reduce the temp to 375. Turn potatoes over and sprinkle with more Season Salt and Pepper. Sprinkle with the minced garlic, parsley and bacon. Sprinkle cheese on top and cook another 15-20 min.

I could eat the whole pan!!
