   This is a great idea for a family brunch!

   Oh my gosh, yum! My favorite potatoes ever are a very similar version of these but made in a camping dutch oven. Can't wait to try these! I do have a question though, I've always been under the impression that you shouldn't add dairy products (like the cheese in this recipe) to the slow cooker until the last hour of cooking. Is there any truth to that? Thanks!

   I cant wait to try this! My hubby is a bacon junkie!!! Just this morning I asked him if he needed to add anything to the Costco list ~ his response was batteries and bacon. Lol

   Hi Kim! I know that in most slow cooker recipes that call for sour cream, cream cheese, or yogurt that you usually don't add them until the last hour because they tend to curdle. However, I have never had a problem with cheese (like shredded cheese). In this recipe, it really just melts the cheesy and makes it nice and gooey. :) Hope that helps!

   Ha ha ha! I love it! I never thought about buying bacon in bulk like that!!! My husband would love me forever if I did! :)

   I am definitely going to have to try this! I think it will be a great recipe for a trip we are doing with some friends in a couple of weeks. There will be several families so a single recipe probably isn't enough. Have you ever tried to double or triple it? If so, any suggestions?

   Oh yum. Totally pinned. I want these now!

    Okay, so I feel like a culinary reject, but what does it me to "dot" the butter?
11. About Me says:

    to dot simply means to cut the chunk of butter into smaller pieces and kinda sprinkle the pieces over your dish... hope that makes sense! :)

    I think that this recipe will double just fine! However, you are going to need a huge slow cooker! :) I used a 5 quart slow cooker and it was pretty much filled to the brim.

    Looks delicious. My husband recently informed me he had heard on the news there might be a shortage of bacon in upcoming months due to the drought everywhere. So enjoy the bacon goodness while you can I say :)

    I made these to bring to Sunday dinner, and they were a hit! I knew I would need more than 4 potatoes, but I didn't have room to double the recipe...so I made about 1 2/3 of the recipe. I did precook the bacon (and drain it) because I wanted to cut down on the grease, and that seemed to work just fine. I also plugged the crockpot in in the garage, because I can't stand the onion smell in my house for 3 days afterwards :) I cooked it for about 5 hours on high, and they were perfect. Thanks for the tip about the foil, that worked great and created much less of a mess than usual! Will definitely be making again soon!

    Hello! My brother lives in Kaysville---we love it there. I'm a 17 summers survivor of Tucson! How about warming any leftovers of these potatoes the next morning in a skillet and then just adding beaten eggs over the top & scramble it? Mmmmm.
17. Carol says:

    I just made something similar in foil packets baked in the oven. The main difference was that it used Lipton Onion soup mix as a seasoning. With the butter, it gave it a nice sauce. I think without the soup mix, it will be better with breakfast. I will try it without and see how that does. :)

    just had this recipe pop up somewhere (a link on facebook, i think..) am so going to be making this later this week.. am thinking of adding in a little browned ground beef to make this a one pot dinner for one of our busy days.. just gotta get to the store and get more manchego :) (I can't have cow dairy, but goat and sheep are fine for me, so manchego it is!)

    We love bacon around my house!! Try any low sodium bacon sprayed with Bragg's Liquid Aminos. I found it in the health food section of our grocery store. It's a vegetable protein seasoning containing 16 amino acids. It really does make the bland low sodium stuff taste like the real thing!

    Tried these....but my potatoes had blackspots...????What did I do wrong
21. Randi says:

    Tried these and my potatoes turned black...? What did I do wrong?
22. Cyd says:

    We have never had that happen. Were your potatoes in bad shape to begin with. We use 4 nice looking potatoes, and have never had black spots.
