This is a great side dish with steak, chicken or burgers. Not for the those looking for low-fat recipes. Just so yummy like potato skins appetizers.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 12 red potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled (I like to use a cookie sheet and bake my bacon because it is easier and bacon come out better this w)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup butter, sliced

Directions

  1. 1
    Clean and cut potatoes into cubes. Add potatoes and sliced butter to a microwave safe covered dish. Microwave on high for 5 minutes and then stir to coat all potatoes. Season with salt, pepper (or seasoned salt) to taste.
  2. 2
    Return to microwave and cook (covered) on high for another 5 minutes. Stir and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Check the potatoes to see if they are done (fork tender), if not, add another 5 minutes and let rest again.
  3. 3
    Add cheese, bacon and mix with potatoes and cook on high in microwave for 2 minutes or until melted. If you would like a crisper potatoes then put the dish in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes rather than microwave for the last 2 minutes.
  4. 4
    Serve with sour cream and sliced green onions.

What is there not to love about this carb fest??? I scaled the recipe in half for the two of us for dinner... I actually parboiled my potatoes first for 10 minutes and as I was finishing up the rest of dinner, I cooked them for about 7 minutes after mixing in the cheese and butter... so delicious! I used center cut bacon, extra sharp cheddar and garnished with lots of sour cream and fresh onion chives from the garden! Thanks for a delish side to accompany all meats!!!

    You can't go wrong with this recipe. I served this during our 4th of July BBQ. It was great that I did not have to heat up the oven. I cubed the potatoes in larger cubes so it did take a bit longer in the microwave but it all worked well! Huge hit with everyone at the BBQ. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.

    Absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I opted for an oven method, though. I had 3 things going on the stove, so made these in the oven instead! Tossed them with melted butter, s&p'ed them, and baked them at 350 (covered) for 45 minutes. Took them out, topped them with cooked bacon broken into pieces, then a lot of shredded cheddar and mixed Italian white cheeses, and popped them back in (covered) for another 15 minutes. They were AWESOME!!! My hubby thanks you, too!!!! Made for the ZWT4

    Delicious simple potatoes! I used new red baby potatoes and fiesta blend cheese. I cooked them on top of the stove instead of the microwave - just a personal preferance. Served with scallion and ranch sour cream.
