Eileen's Tips for Success
- Try to cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. I like to use a vegetable cutter to make things easier.
- For easy clean-up, try lining your baking tray with aluminum foil. I don't know about you, but I love it when I don't have to deal with leftover bacon, and I can just ball the foil up, and trash it before giving the pan a quick scrub.
- So that your potatoes turn out perfect, make sure that you place them in a single layer on your baking sheet. You don't want to overcrowd them otherwise they will be soggy if the pan is overcrowded.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, the bacon will cook as it bakes with the potatoes.
The best way to reheat them is in the air fryer or oven at 350 degrees until they are warm all the way through.
Variations

- For this recipe, russet potatoes really work best. However, I've also successfully used baby potatoes or little potatoes that have been sliced in half.
- I like to use fresh parsley as a garnish for this delicious appetizer. However, you can also use sour cream, sliced green onions, or even a little cheddar cheese.
- Is your family a fan of spicy foods? If so, add a dash of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for a touch of heat.
