Description
Easy Tex-Mex potato dish using bacon and chili powder.
Ingredients
- 6 medium unpeeled potatoes
- 6 slices bacon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot, whole and unpeeled, until fork tender. Cut them into 1/4-inch slices; set aside.
- Cook bacon in skillet until crisp; remove bacon, reserving drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon, and set aside.
- Add salt and chili powder to skillet, stirring well. Add potatoes to skillet; gently stir to coat with seasonings. Spoon potatoes into a lightly greased 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle with bacon; cover and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

Notes
You may use either russet (baking) potatoes or redskin potatoes. Russets will more readily absorb the seasoning, being less dense, but redskins work very well.
