Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Oil or Cooking spray for baking dish
- 1 bag (24-ounce) baby Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder approximately
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder approximately
- 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika approximately
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cold butter approximately, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese mild or sharp
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- chopped scallion tops or chives
- Sour cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter, oil or spray an 8 x 11-inch baking dish.
- Cut slits in each potato, leaving the bottom intact. Stop just before reaching the bottom of the potato. Space the slices 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch apart.
- Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the potatoes and toss well.
- Set on a baking sheet with the Hasselbacked side up.
- Roast for 40-45 minutes or until the interior of potatoes can be easily pierced with a paring knife.
- Transfer potatoes to a baking dish with tongs (as they'll be hot). The potatoes should be snug but not so snug that you close up the potatoes.
- Dot the top of the potatoes with butter.
- Sprinkle with cheese and bacon and return to oven for 10-12 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- Sprinkle with scallion tops or chives and serve immediately with sour cream if desired.
Notes
MAKE AHEAD:
- Roast the potatoes and let cool.
- Place in a baking dish and top with the butter, cheese, and bacon. Refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
