Loaded Bacon and Cheddar Spiral Roasted Potatoes
Bacon and Cheddar Spiral Loaded Roasted Potatoes are arranged in a vertical spiral for maximum crispness, roasted with bacon tucked into every little crevice, then topped with cheddar, chives, and sour cream. The BEST potato dish!
Ingredients
- 5 medium/large potatoes scrubbed and sliced about ⅛ inch thick (about 2½ lbs, 1.2kg)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole head garlic minced fine
- 3 oz bacon diced (85g)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter 1oz, 28g
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese 3oz, 85g
- sour cream and chives for topping
Instructions
- Toss sliced potatoes with minced garlic and olive oil in a large bowl.
- Using the largest pieces first, arrange the slices in a spiral around the edge of a 12 inch cast iron pan, tucking the last potato under the first. Continue making spirals until you have filled the pan.
- Tuck pieces of bacon into the cracks and crevices, lifting pieces of potato and sticking some bacon in between.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes, brushing with butter in the last 15 minutes. The potatoes should be tender and cooked in the middle, brown and crispy on the edges.
- When potatoes are done, remove from oven and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Put back in oven a minute or two until cheese melts. Remove from oven.
- Top with sour cream and chives.
Notes
- My favorite pan when making Spiral Roasted Potatoes is my big Lodge 12 inch cast iron skillet.
