Crispy Oven-Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, diced
  • 5 pounds red potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by applying a thin layer of grease to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. This will ensure that your potatoes release easily once they're cooked.
3
Now, arrange the potatoes in an even and symmetrical layer within the dish.
4
Then, sprinkle a generous amount of diced onion and crispy bacon bits over the potatoes to add flavor and texture.
5
Following that, place small mounds of diced butter on top of the onion and bacon to enhance their flavor.
6
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning during the initial baking phase.
7
Bake the potatoes in your preheated oven for 45 minutes, allowing them to cook slowly and evenly.
8
Remove the foil from the dish and gently stir the potatoes to redistribute them.
9
Turn your oven's temperature setting to its broiler mode and cook the potatoes until they're golden brown, taking approximately 5 minutes.
10
As you monitor the browning process, stir the potatoes every minute or so to ensure even cooking.
11
Serve your crispy potato dish immediately, hot from the oven.
