Notas
Parboil the potatoes only until they start to soften, as they will finish cooking in the oven. Cut the potatoes to a similar thickness so they bake evenly. Sliced bacon releases flavor while baking, but you can also lightly brown it first for a crispier result. Serve hot to enjoy the melted cheese and creamy cream cheese layer.
