Roasted Red Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese



      If you're looking for a quick and easy side dish that people will love, give these Roasted Red Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese from Kraft a try.  I used a little less than the full 2 pounds of potatoes and it was just the right amount for my 10 inch oven.  The potatoes I used were on the tiny side and were ready in 50 minutes with 10 coals in a ring around the bottom and 22 on the lid.  If you're making a larger portion, use a bigger oven, they will brown better if scattered in a single layer.  Also, the real bacon bits in a jar were really quite good but if you want to fry your own bacon and crumble it in, I'm sure it would be even better.  A good staple recipe, with bacon, cheese and potatoes you can never go wrong.
