Only once a year recipe

This potato dish is only aloud once per year because of how delicious they are, or maybe it's because they are so unhealthy. I always make these for Thanksgiving, used to take them to the fridged morning Lions Fan tailgate Thanksgiving dinner but this year I will not be going to the game (shedding tears right now). Anyway, if you would like to add something to you menu that the entire family will love try these out.

What you will need

• 5 pounds of red skin potatoes
• 1 pound of bacon
• 2/3 to 1 stick of butter
• Grated parmesean cheese
• An entire garlic clove, roasted

Directions

1.)   Wash and cut your potatoes to ruffly 2 inches, see picture below.

2.)   Transfer potatoes to a large pot of water, bring to a boil. Let them boil for around 10 minutes, you don't want them to be to soft yet not firm. I test it with a fork, if the fork goes into the potatoes easily but doesn't drop off then they are done. Drain and cover with cold water.

3.)   While potatoes are cooling start making your pound of bacon, KEEP THE GREASE

4.)   About half way through making your bacon the potatoes should be nice a cooled, transfer to a 11 x 15 oven safe pan.

5.)   After finishing the bacon take the grease and pour half of the grease onto your potatoes (this is just the start of it). Give your bacon a nice chop and add to the potatoes. Chop your roasted garlic and add to potatoes. Now sprinkle on the parmesean cheese, this depends on your taste, I use around 3/4 or a cup.

6.)   Fold your potatoes to mix all ingredients, be careful to not mash your potatoes

7.)   Sprinkle the top with a little more cheese and take thin squares of butter to place on top, see picture below.

8.)   Bake at 350 F for 20 - 30 minuets, until butter is melted and cheese is a golden color.

I hope you really enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner, I know I will.

Until next time,
