Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Mandoline or Veggie Slicer
  • Box Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 Medium/Large Russet Potatoes sliced thin
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ bulb fresh garlic diced
  • 1/2 White Onion diced
  • 1/3 Cup Green Bell Pepper diced, fine
  • 1 ½ Cups Sharp Cheddar, Block Shredded
  • 1 Cup Gouda Cheese, Block Shredded
  • 1 Cup Pimento Cheese
  • Cracked Black Pepper, fresh to taste
  • Cavenders Greek Seasoning to taste
  • 4 ounces Bacon pieces , real or plant-based optional
  • Fresh or Dried Parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Dice half a garlic bulb, 1/2 white onion, 1 green bell pepper and add to mixing bowl with 1/2 bag of bacon pieces (4 oz) and season with Cavender's Greek Seasoning. Set aside.
  • Slice 3-4 Medium to Large Russet Potatoes.
  • Soak potatoes in cold water for 15min to remove as much starch as possible. Then allow to dry on a baking sheet. May have to pat to dry.
  • Add Potatoes to mixing bowl and coat with olive oil and lightly season with Cavender's Greek Seasoning.

Layering Your Cast Iron Skillet Cheesy Bake as followed:

  • Potatoes
  • Pimento Cheese
  • Gouda Cheese
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Sprinkle Garlic, Onion, Bell Pepper, Bacon (optional) mixture
  • REPEAT: until you've filled your skillet. Be sure to have the top layer with only the cheese and veggie mix.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20-25min. The potatoes are thin so they won't require a long duration to cook.
  • After skillet is done baking, remove from oven and garnish with fresh or dried parsley and allow it to sit for 10-15min.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You will want to make sure your cheese is room temperature.
  • ANY potato will suffice.
  • You can add plant-based bacon to this recipe to keep it fully vegetarian. All you will need is four (4) ounces of bacon pieces which you can add to the vegetable mixture. Feel free to add real bacon pieces.
  • Substituting green bell peppers for jalapenos works great too! 
  • You can reduce the amount of garlic, if you like. We love garlic over here! We used the entire bulb.
