How to Make Bacon Potato Cheese Rounds

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake 1 large russet potato until tender (approximately 45-60 minutes, depending on size and method).
  3. While the potato is baking, cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  4. Once the potato is cool enough to handle, slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  5. Top each potato round with 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup total), 1 tablespoon crumbled bacon, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Place potato rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly browned.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! These are also great cold.
