### How It Comes Together
The magic begins by parboiling or roasting your diced potatoes until they’re fork-tender. Then, they’re tossed in a cheesy, creamy sauce and layered into a baking dish with generous handfuls of bacon bits. As the dish bakes, the cheese melts and browns beautifully on top, while the potatoes absorb every bit of flavor from the mix.
A final sprinkle of bacon and green onions gives it both crunch and color—making this dish as visually appealing as it is satisfying.
