Recipe from my local grocery store that looked so tasty on the recipe card but I didn't get to taste it, as it wasn't done yet. UPDATE since I first posted: I just made this recipe and have now cut the butter back to 1/2 of what was listed, so if you love a ton of butter use 4 tablespoons, but I used 6 potatoes (which they are not that large) with the 4 tablespoons and could have had it with alot less. I also cooked it longer than 15 minutes to get the bacon crisper (probably 20-25 minutes), but they were then cooked perfectly!!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 white potatoes, medium (rinsed)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion (rinsed)
1/2-1 teaspoon herb-seasoned salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 slices bacon

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 475°F Cut potatoes into quarters; place in microwave-safe bowl. Top with butter; cover and microwave on HIGH 5 minutes. Meanwhile, slice onion thinly.
2
Stir potatoes to evenly coat with butter; microwave 5 more minutes or until potatoes are hot and just beginning to soften.
3
Transfer potatoes to 2-quart baking dish and arrange in single layer. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper. Arrange onion slices evenly over potatoes; top with bacon slices. Bake 15-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender and bacon is browned and semi-crisp. Serve. (Makes 6 servings.).

Great taste with minimum fuss. I cut this recipe in 1/2 and in place of the bacon I used Tastefully Simple's Bacon Bacon over the top. Broiled for about two minutes at the end to give em a nice crispy coat. MMMmmm, what a nice side dish. Made for HolidayTag.

This worked well for me and was served as a side to rack of veal . It was easy to do and giving the potatoes a good go in the microwave first guarantees they will be done perfectly - nothing worse than serving underdone taties and then having to wait ages while they go back in the oven so I was well pleased with this result.
