Today I would like to share my family’s favorite and super delicious potato recipe called,

Perfectly Roasted Golden Potato

It is made of golden potato, fresh rosemary stems, baked bacon, lots of garlic and simple salt and pepper seasonings.

You will love this recipe for its cooked, soft and roasted potato texture. Rosemary aroma will make your kitchen smell like fall. Perfect comfort food that you and your family can enjoy for a dinner!

Give this recipe a try for this upcoming Thanksgiving dinner, your guest will be begging for a recipe!

To make Perfectly Roasted Golden Potato you will need:

5-6 golden potatoes

2 stems of fresh rosemary

1 garlic head

olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

baked bacon for serving

greens like dill for serving 100% optional

Preheat the oven to 350F.

1. Peel potato and rinse it in cold water. Slice each potato into two halves. Place it in the pot filled with cold water, add salt. Bring it to a boil, turn the heat down to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes.

2. Once it is done cooking drain the water, let the potato sit in the strainer for a few minutes so there will be no extra water.

3. Grease baking pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, place potato into baking pan and season with salt and pepper.  Put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

4. After it’s done baking for 30 minutes remove potato from the oven. Using a potato masher, mash potato tops like shown in the picture.

5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top of the potato or brush it with a food brush.

6. Add unpeeled garlic and cut rosemary. Return potato into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.

7. Garnish with bacon and chopped dill and serve with your favorite salad.

Enjoy!

Hello, there! Mandy here from Mandy’s Recipe Box. Who loves watching sports on t.v? And who is just there for the food (Mandy raises her hand)? I’d rather curl up with a book or Netflix and Diet Coke while my husband and son have a game on t.v. And the Superbowl? Let’s just say it’s a foodie’s dream with all the tasty food. Like this Bacon Cheeseburger Dip that I found on Pinterest from Recipes That Crock.

This dip starts out in a skillet and moves to a slow cooker which makes it a perfect appetizer. You can visit with family instead of slaving away in the kitchen. So grab some chips and get comfy watching the game (or Netflix) with your family and friends who will go crazy over this Bacon Cheeseburger Dip.

These yummy stacks start with a frozen hash brown patty for the base.  Then add some cheese, bacon, green chili, guacamole and finally a fried egg to top it off.  You can even garnish with salsa and cilantro if you like.

But let’s get to it… The coolest thing about this breakfast stack is the BACON WEAVE.  Your friends and family will think you’re a genius when you serve these at your Sunday breakfast!

Here’s how it’s done:

These bacon weaves are not hard to make at all.  Once they’re assembled, just bake them in the oven and you have yourself a BIG, delicious piece of bacon. Oh, by the way…these are awesome on bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches too!

I guarantee you are going to love these delicious Bacon Egg Breakfast Stacks. They even make a fun “breakfast-for-dinner” meal too!

Bacon & Egg Breakfast Stack

Ingredients

For one bacon & egg stack you need:

• 1 frozen hash brown patty
• 3 pieces bacon you could use less if you're not weaving the bacon together
• 1 slice cheese cheddar, monteray jack or your favorite
• 1 fried egg
• 1 whole green chili I used canned
• heaping spoonful of guacamole
• Optional: garnish with chopped cilantro and salsa

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°
• Cut bacon in half. On parchment lined baking sheet, weave bacon pieces. Place frozen hash brown patty on baking sheet next to the bacon. Bake until bacon is cooked and hash browns have crisped up, about 15-20 minutes. Flip the hash brown patty half way through cooking.
• To serve, layer hash brown patty, slice cheese, bacon, green chili, guacamole and top with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a spoonful of salsa.

Notes

To weave the bacon, lay 3 half pieces of bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet next to each other vertically. Fold the middle piece a third of the way back. Lay one half piece of bacon horizontal. Fold the middle piece down over the horizontal piece. Now fold back the two outside pieces. Lay another piece of bacon down horizontal. Fold those 2 pieces back down over the horizontal piece. Repeat process.

If you are making several, I suggest cooking the hash browns on a separate baking sheet so they don't get too greasy.

My kids LOVE to recite the comedy segment that Jim Gaffigan does about bacon.  If you haven’t seen it, you must not like bacon very much.  All the REAL bacon lovers out there know what I am talking about, right?  Well lucky for you, I ‘ve got the video right here.  If you love bacon, you won’t be disappointed.

https://youtu.be/CaK9bjLy3v4 com  compliments of the Jim Gaffigan YouTube Channel

My family gobbled these up in no time flat.  A sure sign of a winning chicken dish.  Oh and if you’re interested in our side dish, Dirty Rice, you can find the recipe HERE.  It was the perfect addition to this chicken.

The recipe suggests that you either pound your chicken first or that you cut a thick breast into cutlets.  For a great tutorial on how to cut your cutlets, watch this:

All right, enough of this yakkin’ about bacon, let’s get cookin’!!

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1-2 TBL dried parsley depending on how much you want.

But I love them.

I love their crispy outsides and their soft potato center.

So what could be better than tater tots?

Tater tots with cheese.

And bacon.

Everything is better with bacon.

So I made this Tater Tot Casserole Recipe for dinner that I pinned from Hillbilly’s Southern Recipes and they really did the trick. It made me sooo  happy to eat them! And no matter how your day went today, having some of these will make you happy too!

And if you eat the whole pan yourself, I promise not to judge.

When the movie Napoleon Dynamite came out, my 3 oldest children were teenagers at the time. They thought it was the greatest movie ever, and began quoting the funniest lines from the movie  over and over and over again for months! Which quote  do I remember hearing the most? “Napoleon, give me some of your tots”! Suddenly Tater Tots had a whole new identity!

Poor Napoleon Dynamite, little did he know that his beloved Tater Tots would taste 10 times better stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon and baked until crispy! They taste even better when dipped in your choice of sauce. My favorite? Baby Rays Sweet BBQ Sauce……..heaven! No more plain Tater Tots for this girl. These are definitely our new football game snack! Thank you, thank you Wendy Bradley for this awesome appetizer.

This recipe takes Tater Tots to a whole new level – who knew they could ever taste this good? What would I do if I ran into Napoleon Dynamite with Bacon Wrapped Tater Tot Bombs in his pocket?  I’d say “Napoleon, GIVE me some TOTS”! Why would I do a crazy thing like that?

Because this Pin TOTALLY Rocks!

In anticipation of the longer days of summer, we decided to make these Bacon Pineapple Burgers that I pinned many moons ago on Pinterest:

Pretty simply, make your hamburger patties and criss-cross two pieces of bacon.  Place your patty in the middle of the bacon and put a pineapple slice on top.  Then cross the bacon over the burger and pineapple and pin with two toothpicks:

We put these on the BBQ grill and everything was cooking just fine so hubby came inside to check his email.  After a few minutes, he went back out to the grill and then came running back inside yelling “Debbie…get me something!”

Get him what?

A plate for the burgers?

A spatula?

Oh no.  How about some water because the grill was ON FIRE!

He grabbed a spray bottle with some water and ran back outside to douse the hamburgers and the grill with water.

Fortunately we got the fire out but unfortunately the burgers….well….they kinda looked like hockey pucks.  

I was somewhat disappointed but I have some growing boys in my family and a little charbroil wasn’t about to stop them from eating these so our whole family decided to just slather some BBQ sauce on these  and guess what?

They were still good!So if these burgers tasted good even after being burned, then I can say that This Pin Really Rocks!

I really liked the tangy dressing and salty bacon flavor combined with the sweetness of the apples. I almost forgot there was cabbage in there! And yes it is better the second day when the flavors have marinated and then released it’s full flavor. I still wouldn’t order coleslaw as a side at KFC, unless of course they changed the recipe to this one from Ghetto Foodie. Then I would get it every time.

You got it….This Pin Rocks
