Cowboy Skillet Crunch

A crispy, savory, bacon-kissed side dish with bold flavor from Oak City’s Cowboy Crunch.

Ingredients

• 1 medium potato, parboiled and diced

• 2–3 strips bacon, chopped

• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar & Colby blend)

• 1 tsp Cowboy Crunch seasoning (from Oak City Spice Blends)

Instructions

1. Prep the Potato

   • Parboil the potato until just tender (about 10 minutes), then dice into small cubes.

2. Fry the Bacon

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Leave the bacon in the pan and keep the rendered fat.

3. Cook the Potatoes

   • Add diced potatoes directly into the skillet with the bacon and fat. Spread into a single layer for maximum crisp.

4. Add the Cheese & Cowboy Crunch

   • In a small bowl, toss shredded cheese with Cowboy Crunch. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the potatoes.

5. Let It Work Its Magic

   • Cover and cook on medium-low for about 20 minutes, or until the bottom of the potatoes are crispy and the cheese is fully melted and golden.

6. Serve Hot

   • Spoon it up and serve warm—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a bold side dish.

Tips

• Want more crisp? Don’t stir! Let the bottom layer sear.

• Try a fried egg on top for a full meal.

• Cowboy Crunch brings the smoky, peppery kick—add more if you dare!
