Cheesey baked potato disks

               Cheesey Baked Potato Disks



I don't think anything goes together better than potatoes and Cheddar cheese. Topped with shredded soft bacon bits, these are a perfect side to any meal.  Easy to make- there's no excuse not to try them!

Ingredients:

Peeled and cut potatoes (enough to cover the bottom of the baking dish of your choice. For cheesier potatoes it's better to not double layer them.

A stick of butter (it will depend on how many potato slices you are making as to how much you'll use.

A can of chicken broth

1 tsp garlic powder

shredded Cheddar cheese

soft bacon bits (I usually use Hormel) or cooked bacon shredded

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Warm the chicken broth on the stove adding the teaspoon of garlic so the garlic mixes evenly. Peel and slice your potatoes layering them into the baking pan  Pour enough broth into the baking sheet to cover the bottom and surround the potatoes. Add a small tab of butter on each potato disk. (I know it sounds time consuming, but it really isn't and it makes them so good!) Bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on thickness of your potatoes) until they are tender in the middle. Remove from oven and drain out the broth.

Level the potatoes back out in the pan and sprinkle (or in my case 'load') the top of the potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and top it with the shredded bacon/soft bacon bits.  Place back in oven until the cheese melts evenly. Let cool for a few minutes and serve.
