Ingredients for Bacon Cheddar Potato Tart Michael Smith

How to Make Bacon Cheddar Potato Tart Michael Smith

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes.
  3. Cook potatoes until tender. You can boil, steam or even microwave them.
  4. In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked potatoes with 8 oz of crumbled bacon and 4 oz of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Transfer the potato mixture to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
  6. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender throughout. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  7. Let the tart cool slightly before carefully removing it from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
