*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

• 6 Tbs. butter or margarine
• 4 potatoes (about 1-1/2 lbs.), cut into 1/4″ thick slices
• 1/2 cup Real bacon pieces (like Hormel, Oscar Mayer)
• 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the butter in a 10″ x 15″ jelly roll pan. Place in oven just until butter melts. Place potatoes on pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss until thoroughly coated with the melted butter. Spread out into an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn the potatoes. Sprinkle with bacon pieces and cheese. Continue baking for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender, crusty and golden brown.

Michael loves these, especially with extra sharp cheddar. The real bacon pieces are usually on the salad dressing aisle, either in a small jar or re-closable package. They are much better than the artificial bits.
