Here's the problem with finals.
Last semester taught me to diet/exercise pretty intensely for the 2-3 weeks leading up to finals because once they hit, I will eat anything and everything and find every excuse not to work out (ummm I'm studying, hello!). Things like these happen:
Justin wanted to grill steaks the other night to celebrate our final classes of 1L year, and what's a steak with some potatoes?? Nothing. It is nothing.
Here's what you need (original recipe found on How Sweet It Is)...
3 lbs of small potatoes (I used baby red)
1 medium yellow onion, diced
salt
pepper
garlic powder
1 tsp of olive oil
3 strips of bacon, raw
1 bag of 2% sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley
3 tbsp fresh chives
4 green onions
Here is what you do...
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Chop potatoes into small, bite size pieces. Throw into a bowl with 1 tsp olive oil (no more than this!), and the yellow onion and coat evenly with salt, pepper and garlic powder (to taste).
3. Evenly spread your potatoes onto a cookie sheet. Chop your 3 pieces of raw bacon into tiny pieces and sprinkle evenly on top of your potatoes.
4. Put in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip then (I basically mixed them around), bake for another 15 minutes, stir them around, bake for another 15 minutes, stir them around, annnd bake for another 15 minutes and stir them around. Total baking time = 1 hour.
5. Take potatoes out of the oven and immediately sprinkle parsley, green onion and chives on top. Then, cover evenly with cheese. Turn off the oven, but put the cookie sheet back in for 2-3 minutes so the cheese will melt.
6. Take them out and serve right off the cookie sheet to avoid losing cheese. ENJOY!!
These were so so good. I have been eating them ever since. Well, those and baked tater tots covered in cheese and bacon (why are those in my house?!?!? What is wrong with me??).
Wish me luck. When this is all over, Justin may need to roll me out of the house.
