Bacon Potatoes

This is probably one of my favorite newest recipes. A family in our church had their second baby and I was trying to find something to take and saw a recipe for roasted potatoes that looked really yummy, but it had lots of cayenne pepper and garlic in it and those are big no-no's for a breast feeding mom. So this one is for the Eastepp's who we've come to love dearly since our move to Borger. So here's my recipe for Bacon Potatoes

1 med bag of red potatoes - rinsed and cut into quarters - Don't peel them
1/2 pkg of thick sliced bacon - coarsely chopped
1 bunch of green onions - chopped and set aside
olive oil
salt
pepper

  • Pre-heat your oven to 400 and line a cookie sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray
  • Put your red potatoes on the cookie sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Take a wooden spoon or use your hands to "toss" the potatoes to get them coated with the olive oil. Salt & pepper them and put them in the oven for about 35-40 mins or until fork tender
  • While the potatoes are cooking put all your bacon in a sauce pan and cook it. Make sure you cook it till its done and not dead. You want to have chewy bacon. Once it's done, set it aside till the potatoes are done.
  • Once your potatoes are done take them off the cookie sheet and put them in your serving bowl and then pour the bacon over the top of them and gently stir the bacon in with the potatoes, then top with your green onions.

We have come to love eating this and a couple of times I have just chopped up the whole thing of bacon and made a few extra potatoes and we've had that as a meal. It's easy and goes great with anything off the grill.
