Dutch Oven Double Cheese Potatoes
1 lb. bacon, diced
2 onions, diced
2 green peppers, diced
mushrooms, optional
12 med. potatoes, Red Pontiac, peeled and sliced dollar size
salt and pepper
Other seasonings, as desired
1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 lb. swiss cheese
Fry bacon in a 12 inch Dutch Oven. Add onions, peppers (and
mushrooms, if using) and saute. Pour part of the bacon grease
off and add potatoes. Add salt, pepper and seasoning to taste.
Mix together, but don't stir while cooking. Put 8 briquettes
under the oven and 14 on the lid. This will allow all the
potatoes to cook uniformly without stirring. Cook approximately
45 minutes. Check with a fork - when done, grate the cheese
together and sprinkle evenly over the top of the potatoes and
replace the hot lid. The cheese will melt down through the
potatoes and they are ready to eat. |
