I concocted this recipe last night and decided to share.
Why?
It was outrageously awesome and EASY!
Here is what happened.
I had a half block of sharp cheddar cheese left over from
Peppers Stuffed with Fiesta Turkey night and since I had a craving for something cheesy, I knew that I wanted to use it.
While rummaging through my pantry,
a potato rolled out of nowhere and fell on my left toe.
Once the pain subsided, I knew immediately that I needed to avenge my toe and eat this potato, along with his friends.
Plain loaded baked potatoes bore me... okay, let's be real.
Loaded baked potatoes are never boring.
I didn't have any bacon in the fridge.
As an alternative, I decided to do roasted potatoes
drenched in a thunderstorm of cheddar cheese and
Southwest is the Best spice mix.
Roasted Cumin Cheddar Red Potatoes
