Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Smoked gouda cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the potatoes. Dice them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking. Pat the diced potatoes dry with a clean towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble it into small pieces. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.
Thinly slice the yellow onion. In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the butter and sliced onions. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes, or until the onions are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded smoked gouda cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Top them with the crumbled bacon and caramelized onions.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spicy Potatoes with Smoked Gouda, Bacon, and Onions!
