As one fan says, “The sweetness of the onion, smokiness of the bacon, & creaminess of the cheese go together wonderfully." In other words, awesome.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy your favorite foods on occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Storing Potatoes

Store potatoes for up to 2 to 3 weeks in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place. Warmth encourages sprouting or shriveling, while prolonged exposure to light can turn potatoes green. Never store potatoes near onions, as gases given off by the onions cause potatoes to spoil faster.

Awesome recipe. The sweetness of the onion, smokiness of the bacon, & creaminess of the cheese go together wonderfully with the potatoes. :)

This is the best potato skillet recipe I've ever had! I'm not a fan of potatoes but this recipe makes them irresistible!

Delicious! The only negative comment would be that there were no leftovers! Easy as pie to make, bacon and cheddar add such flavor to the potatoes - will be making again! Thanks for great recipe!

This was a very good recipe if you want something different from the ordinary potato. My only issue was to get the potates to a fully cooked status, it took almost twice as long as the recommended time.

I wanted something different for my side dish. I didn't have yukon potatoes or shredded cheddar. I used baking potatoes and mozarella cheese. I forgot to put on the sour cream but it was still delish. I will make this again but with the cheddar.

Good recipe, but my onions burned. I wouldn't cook them ahead of time if I ever made this again. Also the potatoes took a lot longer than 25 minutes to cook. It tastes good, though, minus the burnt stuff.

My teenage daughter found this recipe and made it because she wanted to make something with bacon. It was easy and yummy!

Very quick and versatile recipe. We didn't mix the bacon and cheese in at the end of the recipe but set everything out at the table. This allowed everyone to put whatever toppings they wanted on it. Also used salsa and salt/pepper. Yummy!
