Cheesy Dutch Oven Potatoes

Chessy Dutch Oven Potatoes

10 potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
1 package of bacon, chopped
1 large onion, diced
1/2 C butter
salt and pepper
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
2 C cheddar cheese, shredded

  Peel and slice potatoes. Heat a dutch oven up over medium high heat. Add bacon that has been chopped. When the bacon has cooked for a few minutes and there is a bit of grease in the bottom of the dutch oven, add the chopped onion. Let these two cook until the bacon is slightly crisp and the onions are almost translucent.  Add 3-4 tablespoons of butter. Stir it around and let it melt into the bacon and onions. Add the sliced potatoes. Stir to mix everything together then Add 2-3 more tablespoons of butter and a generous helping of salt and pepper. Stir it all up again.

Put the lid on and let the potatoes cook through. This should take about 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Also, make sure that you lift the lid and stir things up a couple of times while they cook. Especially watch the potatoes that are on the bottom of the pan, so they don’t burn.

When the potatoes are fork tender add 1 (16 ounce) container of sour cream. Give it a nice stir. Then sprinkle 2 cups cheddar cheese over the top. Place the lid back on the dutch oven and remove it from the heat. Once the cheese has melted and sour cream is heated through you are ready to eat.
