Loaded Potato Bites

Loaded potato bites are my family’s favorite side dish. These remind me of something you would get from one of those expensive steak houses, but without the expensive menu price. I mean, you can’t really go wrong with potatoes, bacon, and cheese right? And this recipe is so stupid simple, I believe just about anyone make it. These are a great side dish, or could also be used as an appetizer.

Loaded Potato Bites

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400

5. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to melted butter and stir
6. Using a basting brush, brush butter mixture over potatoes. Make sure they are all well covered
7. Place in oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes can be easily cut with a fork
8. Remove baking sheets from the oven and cover potatoes with cheese and bacon bits
9. Bake for another 2 minutes and remove from oven
10. Enjoy by themselves, as a side dish, or even dipped in sour cream!
