Notes
To ensure your Crispy Bacon Cheese Bites turn out perfectly every time, here are a few helpful tips:
– Slice the potatoes evenly to ensure even baking and crisping.
– Brush the potato slices generously with melted butter to achieve a delightful crunch.
– Use high-quality, thick-cut bacon for maximum flavor and crispiness.
– Shred the cheddar cheese yourself for a melty, gooey texture.
– Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to allow for proper heat circulation.
