I made up several batches of these because I knew with the lovely combination of cheese, potatoes, and bacon, they were going to turn out fantastically. I had to sneak one after they came out of the oven, just to make sure that they were good…. then I had to sneak a few more. They were terrific! Out of all the appetizers that were made that day, these were the first to go. The party was a huge success. Now, we just have to wait for next year’s.
