My son wanted homefries the other night with pork chops, but he asked that I try topping them with cheese for something different. He LOVES cheese!! I decided to give it a try and I must say they were delicious!

How To Make linda's cheesy homefries

  • 1
    Prep: wash your potatoes, scrubbing off any dirt. slice in half length wise and slice thick. ( I leave the skins on) dice bacon, onions and red bell pepper
  • pan full of beginning fixings
    2
    warm skillet on medium heat, add diced bacon to cook a bit to get some grease in the bottom of the pan. Once you have bacon grease and its sizzling add your diced onion and bell pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and allow to cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Remove as much bacon grease as you can and put back on the burner.
  • pan of potatoes
    3
    Add your butter, sliced potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic granuals, bouquet garni and paprika (i used smoked paprika, but you can choose which to use) and toss well. Cover and allow to cook on medium low for about 30-35 minutes. Turn occasionally to promote browning but dont allow to burn.

    Once potatoes are soft and browned to your liking, uncover, lower the temperature to simmer and liberally spread the Mexican cheese blend on top of the potatoes and allow to melt. Enjoy!!
