Bacon Cheddar Hasselback Potatoes

  • 4

Ingredients

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • 4 large Russet potatoes, washed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, thinly sliced
  • kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • olive oil
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack and Colby cheese blend (or your favorite)
  • 16 ounces of thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preparation

Step 1



Place
a potato on a cutting board with wood skewers on each side
(lengthwise). Slice potato about 3/4 of the way through. The skewers
will keep you from cutting all the way through. Cut to about 1/8"
thickness. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and place a piece butter in
every few slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for about 1
hour.
