One of my favorite things about this season is taking a moment to reflect on the birth, life, and resurrection of Christ.

This knowledge makes everyday moments, and even something as simple as sharing a meal, feel meaningful and full of joy.

But load them up with bacon and garlic and all sorts of cheese and even my picky kiddos eat them! Here is everything you need:

Can I Use Other Varieties of Potatoes?

You don’t have to stick with red potatoes for this recipe, though they’re pretty perfect with their creamy centers and thin, crispy skins.

Can I Add Other Seasonings?

Absolutely! Think of this recipe as your crispy, fluffy canvas. This red skin potatoes recipe is amazing as-is, but if you’re in the mood to play around, go for it! You can keep it simple with garlic powder or fresh
