- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 10 slices bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil/parchment paper and set aside.
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water and a teaspoon of salt. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, and boil for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside for a few minutes to dry.
- Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet. Drizzle the melted butter over the potatoes, add the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well coated and combined.

- Top with green onions or chives and sour cream if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Note: The garlic and butter may burn on the pan, but the potatoes need about 30 minutes to crisp up fully.
