Variations & Tips
For a little kick, you can add some diced jalapenos to the potato mixture. If you’re in the mood for a different type of cheese, try using Monterey Jack or a spicy Pepper Jack. Vegetarians might substitute the bacon with smoked paprika or a vegetarian bacon alternative to maintain that smoky flavor.
