Every Sunday our grandma has the whole family over for a massive feast. There are hams and turkeys, macaroni and veggies, salads and desserts… everything you could possibly think of. Every. Single. Sunday. She’s impressive and we absolutely love her for it because it’s one of our favorite traditions. She switches up the sides quite often, but the one we can always count on to be there is Grandma’s Potato Bake. It’s quite simple but also totally out of this world! She throws in some tender red potatoes, a tangy onion, salty bacon, and, of course, some butter, and then bakes it all until the flavors perfectly combine and it achieves the prime level of crispiness. It’s delicious, y’all! We’re so glad Grandma’s Potato Bake is her Old Faithful because we can’t begin to imagine a Sunday dinner without it!
