I live in a potato lovin’ house…really, nothing makes my family happier than when I serve potatoes. So when Doug had the recipe in his head for these Loaded Red Potatoes, I knew I better let him experiment…and I sure am glad I did.
While we love pretty much all different potatoes, there is just something about the little red potatoes that we love. A good boil, then seasoned butter and a trip to the oven…bacon bits and cheese, back into the oven they go and a spoonful of sour cream and sprinkle of onions.
Pair these Loaded Red Potatoes with the Slow Cooker Corned Beef for a delicious St. Patrick’s Day Dinner. Or serve them along side of our Royal Ultimate Burger.
