Bacon-Loaded Potato Skillet (Bacon-Loaded Potato Skillet)
Indulge in a flavor-packed skillet that brings the comforting tastes of crispy bacon and hearty potatoes to your dinner table!
Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into small cubes for even cooking.
In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cubed potatoes and season them with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces. In a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the crispy bacon to the skillet along with the chopped green onions. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently to combine all the flavors.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture, cover the skillet, and let it cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
