It’s surprising how many different varieties of potatoes there are! These potatoes with bacon and cheese are perfect for a cookout. The great thing about this dish is that you can prepare it ahead of time and simply reheat it when you need it. The top layer will become crunchier and the center will still be soft. You can adjust the amount of cheese and bacon to suit your personal taste.

  • 6 unpeeled potatoes, washed and cut in half
  • 6 slices of turkey or pork bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

  • 1
    Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until they are a little bit soft.
