Cheesy bacon potatoes

What you need:
  • Some number of red potatoes, sliced about a quarter inch thick
  • Your favorite cheese, shredded, enough to cover all the potato slices
  • Crumbled bacon, as much as you want
  • Your favorite butter or butter like product
What to do:
  • Brush the butter on both sides of the potato slices, I used Country Crock.
  • Lay them on an untreated pan, bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn them over, bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Cover each slice with shredded cheese and then some bacon.
  • Bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Let cool or burn your mouth and enjoy.
Pardon my dirty baking sheet but they were going way to fast to wait for a plate. And they were a perfect accompaniment to our steak tonight.
