RED POTATOE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Dump the potatoes on a baking sheet and spread out into 1 layer; roast in the oven for at least 1 hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, season to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place potatoes directly on rack and bake until soft and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes, depending on size. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. 
• Slice warm potatoes in half and remove flesh with a spoon and place in a large bowl; discard skin. 
• Mash flesh and add butter, cream cheese, sour cream and milk and stir to combine and until butter and cream cheese is melted. Fold in 2 cups cheddar, three quarters of the bacon, three quarters of the chopped green onion, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush a medium baking dish with butter and transfer potato mixture into dish. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheddar cheese.
• Bake until cheese is melty, about 20 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. 
• Top with remaining bacon and green onions.
