Yields1 Serving

1 ½ lbs russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried, sliced into quarter inch thickness

2 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp dried rosemary

½ tsp dried thyme

½ tsp onion powder

salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

5 slices thick cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

desired toppings, such as sour cream or Greek yogurt, pico de gallo, green onions thinly sliced, chopped fresh cilantro leaves, all to taste

Wash and scrub the potatoes. Use a clean dish towel to dry excess moisture.

Slice potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Add sliced potatoes to a large mixing bowl.

Drizzle potatoes with olive oil. Add in rosemary, thyme, onion salt, salt and pepper. Using a spoon or spatula, toss to coat until all the potato slices are evenly coated with olive oil and spices.

Place the potatoes on rimmed cookie sheets in an even, single layer.

Bake the potatoes at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, flip the potatoes, and then bake for another 20 minutes. Watch the potatoes to make sure they do not overbake.

Transfer the potatoes to a cast iron pan, slightly overlapping.

Sprinkle the cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the layer of potatoes. Repeat layers, ending with cheese and crumbled bacon on top.

Bake another 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for a minute.

Add sliced green onions or fresh cilantro to top. Serve with a scoop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and pico de gallo.

Enjoy!
