Perfectly Crunchy Roast Potatoes with Garlic, Bacon, and Cheddar

The ideal balance of flavor, texture, and crispiness can be found in these roast potatoes. They become even more delicious with the addition of bacon, garlic, and cheddar cheese. They are excellent as an accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 6 slices of bacon, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish optional

Instructions:

Set the oven temperature to 425F 220C

In a large pot of salted water, place the diced potatoes

Boil and cook for three to four minutes

After draining, leave them in the colander to dry for a few minutes

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat

Add the chopped bacon and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until crispy

Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy bacon from the skillet and place it aside

The bacon fat should stay in the skillet

To the skillet containing the bacon fat, add the drained potatoes

To taste, add salt and pepper for seasoning

Toss to coat the potatoes with seasonings and bacon fat

To ensure even cooking, stir the potatoes occasionally while roasting them in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown

Add the minced garlic to the potatoes and toss to mix during the final five minutes of roasting

By doing this, you can flavor the potatoes with delicious garlic without burning the garlic

Take the potatoes out of the oven when they are nice and crispy

Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon on top

Put the skillet back in the oven and continue baking for another three to four minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted

If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot
