August 1, 2025

Ingredients:

6 medium Yukon gold or baby potatoes, halved

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4–5 slices of crispy cooked bacon, crumbled

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Potatoes:

Wash and cut the potatoes in half.

In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.

Add the potatoes cut side down and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown.

Flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.

3. Make the Creamy Sauce:

In a separate pan, heat a little butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Add the heavy cream and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes.

Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted and creamy.

Pour the sauce over the potatoes in the skillet.

4. Add the Bacon: Sprinkle the crispy crumbled bacon evenly over the top.

5. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
