NOTE: The original recipe called for jarred real
bacon pieces. I made the recipe using
real
bacon that I cooked until crisp and then broke into pieces. Although I am a firm believer that
there is
never a substitute for real, fresh bacon, I would think that the kind from a
jar would be
fine (as long as you don't use imitation bacon bits).

Do you boil the potatoes before adding them?
ReplyDeleteNo, just washed and cut into chunks and then added to the baking dish, but you can do it that way you ask, just the time of baking should be reduced accordingly, and maybe the taste would be different. Maybe I would try that way next time and that would be another recipe. Thank you very much Erin, for stop by and please come back again any time you want.
ReplyDeleteDo you eat this as an actual meal or do you pair it with something else?
ReplyDeleteWell Crescent, I think it would work in both ways. I tried it alone and found amazing, but if you ask me my opinion it can be combine with some meat, pork or chicken. I gave 2 examples in the recipe that I think it would in perfect junction. Let me know what you think about and if you give a try, because this recipe of Angela is incredible good.
DeleteI'm cooking this recipe right now and it smells amazing and it was super easy to throw together :)

Do you think it would taste as good with tater tots?
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna, thanks a lot for your comment and visit. I do not think will be the same recipe, but it is good idea to try soon.
DeleteDo u use red potatoes or brown? I would double batch, as I have 5 mouths to feed, n we all love potatoes! Looks great cant wait to try it, will pass on putting on the scallions, not a fan. Thanks for the recipe in advance! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, thank you very much for your comment. I would prefer red potatoes, but it really does not matter a big difference, just you have to play with the cook time.
Deletehow long are you supposed to bake it?
ReplyDeleteHi Bill, thank you very much for your comment. This is the answer to your question:
DeleteBake them for 60 minutes. Stir gently halfway through to get the bottom potatoes rotated so they don't become burnt and to ensure that the middle and top potatoes get a chance to brown. Remove foil. Raise oven temperature to 400F. Gently stir again, as necessary. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then sprinkle on a little more cheese, if desired. Bake a few more minutes or until everything is gooey, browned and bubbly on top. I hope this is what you were looking for and that you come back again to make another comments.

This recipe sounds great but I am confused with the instructions. You have the oven preheated but no cook time. I read the comments and you have answered that question, but when were we suppose to put foil over the poatoes? You did not mention anything about foil in the original recipe.
ReplyDeleteJust a sugesstions to rewrite the recipe so that it is understandable for everyone
Thank you Katie, for your visit and comment. In the original recipe, http://www.joyouslydomestic.com/2012/10/roasted-ranch-potatoes-with-bacon-and.html, it says:
Delete"Toss to coat potatoes.
Spoon into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.

So here is your answer. I hope that you enjoy this excellent recipe, as I did. Please, come again to see all the recipes that we have.
