Roasted Potatoes with Bacon, Gorgonzola, Cilantro and Other Stuff

By polloazul

Ingredients

• 3 pounds baby yukon gold potatoes, quartered or halved
• 2 slices of uncooked bacon, chopped
• 1/2 vidalia onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2-3 ounces of gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons chopped chives
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray.

Add potatoes and onions to a large bowl and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil (do not use more as the bacon will release fat when cooking) and a bit of salt and pepper. Toss with your hands and try to coat most of the potatoes. Lay them on the baking sheet and top with chopped bacon. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake for 15 more. Flip one more time and cook for 15 minutes longer. Bacon should be crisp at this point.

Remove potatoes from oven and immediately sprinkle on crumbled gorgonzola. Let potatoes sit and cool for 5 minutes, then top with chives, green onions, cilantro and parsley. Serve right off the baking sheet so you don’t lose any gooey cheese.
