Little Loaded Hasselback Potatoes

These Little Loaded Hasselback Potatoes are great as game day food or along side a juicy steak!

Ingredients:
8-10 small potatoes
olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 block cheddar cheese
1-2 slices bacon
parsley or lettuce

Fry the bacon until crispy and set aside.

Scrub the potatoes clean then slice thinly but not all the way through. Using a chopstick on either side of the potato helps. (So does having an assistant!)

Place on a lined baking sheet and brush the potatoes inside and out with olive oil. Salt and pepper all over.

Bake at 400 F for 40-50 minutes or until tender.

Remove from oven and place a few cheese slices in the potatoes and return to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese starts to melt.

Now take them out of the oven, top with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. 

Sour cream is the baked potato topping of choice but I like mine with some caesar salad dressing! (Oopsie, didn't get a picture!)
