How to Make Perfectly Rounded Potatoes
Look for potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes or bruising, and then wash them thoroughly under cold water to get them ready for making the best potato rounds possible.
After that, slice the potatoes very thinly; a mandoline slicer works best for this, but a sharp knife will do in a pinch; and arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread a thin layer of butter over each potato round, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, dividing the toppings evenly so that each potato round is fully loaded.
Last but not least, place in an oven preheated to 400 degrees and bake until potatoes are soft and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Recipe Adjustments
- You can play around with this recipe in many different ways.
- Substitute mozzarella or Swiss cheese for the cheddar if you prefer.
- For more flavor, mix in some chopped green onions or chives with the potato rounds.
- Spicy diced jalapeos or other hot peppers would be a great addition to this dish.
