Roast Potatoes With Onion, Bacon and Chives




 I love this side dish, It goes great with Ribs, Wings and ....well anything !















Start by slicing a large Vidalia Onion and washed Yukon Gold potatoes in 1/4 inch slices. If you have a mandolin slicer now is the time to use it but if not then a standard kitchen knife is fine. Finely chop garlic.
Mix the onion and potatoes in  bowl, drizzle with olive oil and add the garlic, seasoned salt and black pepper. Toss all together and place onto a baking sheet lined with foil.
Cover the foil with another piece of foil,  crimping the edges to seal the package which will allow the potatoes to steam.
Bake at 400 Degrees for 30 minutes remove top foil and check if the potatoes are done with a fork (or just eat one like I do!) if they are still hard then cover with foil and cook a little longer, if they are tender then place the sheet back in the oven uncovered for 7-10 minutes to allow it to brown up a bit .... that's added flavor.






Cook 1/2 a pound of bacon and chop into half inch strips. Finely chop chives (if you do not have chives you can use Green onions).
Once the potatoes are browned remove from the oven and top with the bacon and chives.
Serve with some sour cream and enjoy!
