Country Potatoes
These country potatoes make a delicious side dish with steak, chicken, pork, or even fish. We also love these spuds along with eggs or an omelet.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes quartered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 strips bacon finely chopped (or ¼ cup real bacon bits)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Add the potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley to a large bowl. Toss to combine.
- Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Top the potatoes with cheese and bacon and return to the oven to cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Notes
Use enough oil that the potatoes are fully coated. This not only helps them not stick to the baking sheet, but it also helps them to have perfect crispy edges.
Don't skimp on the seasoning. These potatoes are basically a blank canvas for which ever herbs and spices you use. While you don't want to go overboard, you do want to season them generously.
Don't crowd the baking sheet. You don't want to steam the potatoes so make sure you space them out in a single layer the best you can, giving them plenty of room to brown up on all sides.
Make sure to put these potatoes into a preheated oven. You need a hot oven to get that crisp on them!
