I was going to make ranch potatoes for lunch today but midway through the prep, I decided to jazz things a bit and amp up the flavor factor. I swapped the red potatoes with baby Yukon gold potatoes, whipped up cream cheese with the sour cream, added crisp bacon crumbles, onions, and garlic, and tossed in fresh rosemary for good measure.

Isn’t it amazing how a few simple switches can easily revamp a familiar recipe into a whole new dish?  These cheesy skillet potatoes turned out so tasty, they now own the top spot for the ultimate side dish in our house.

Tips on How to Make Cheesy Skillet Potatoes:

  • Cut the potatoes in uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Brown the bacon but do not cook to a crisp as it will continue to cook in the oven.
  • Want more bacon flavor? Swap the butter with an equal amount of rendered bacon fat.
  • Add some heat by stirring about 1/2 cup of diced green chilis in the sour cream mixture.
