Cheesy Bacon Potatoes Infused With Cannabis
I think it's safe to say that, in American cuisine, we try to use our beloved potato as much as we can. Now, sure, these are just little carb bombs, but who can refuse a well-prepared potato dish? Not many, that's who. Potatoes can be used to liven up any sort of meal you can imagine. Why I'd even go so far as to say these spuds are the best side-dish ever created. And one of the things that makes them so great isn't just their taste - it's their variety.Yes, there are a plethora of different potatoes one could add to their meal, but I'm talking more about the varieties in which it can be prepared. I mean, when you really break it down, the spud possibilities are damn near endless. Which is nothing but a good thing, especially for my cannabis-induced hunger. Maybe it's just me, but I can't get enough of these babies. And anytime I learn a new way to enhance the already awesome flavor of potatoes, I never hesitate to try it out. And, as I've come to find, there are rarely any missteps in these recipes. In other words, no matter what you do to a potato, the chances of it tasting amazing are through the proverbial roof.Impress Your Friends With A Batch Of Cannabis-Infused Cheesy Bacon Potatoes Personally, I'm partial to anything cheesy, too. I'm sure we've all had a batch of cheese fries at one point or another in our lives. In fact, if you haven't, I'd argue that you haven't truly "lived" yet. There's something undeniably scrumptious about this pairing. The gooey consistency of the lip-smacking cheese, in concert with the crispy taters, brings a smile to my face (and stomach). It truly is a match made in heaven, and I've long considered this the end-all, be-all when it comes to potato combinations.That was until I threw some bacon in the mix. Oh, baby. What a treat!But I also took it one step further. Rather than subject myself to the typical french fry that we've all grown tired of, I decided to class my spuds up a bit by chopping them in to little bite-sized morsels of carb-loaded goodness. Those taters, smothered in cheese, and betwixt chunky pieces of perfectly crisp, salty bacon is unbeatable, in my personal opinion.I'm confident I'm not the only one salivating at the mere mention of such a dish. That, in every regard, is downright perfect. But, what if I told you I could take this seemingly flawless recipe and make it even better? Well, that's precisely what I intend to do with this particular concoction. And the only thing we'll be adding to it is cannabis.That's right, party people.

So, let me quickly breakdown how to make some cannabis butter of your very own.I've gone into great detail in the past about how to go about making homemade cannabis butter, but if you don't have time to visit other recipes, allow me to explain the process as quickly as possible.

Calories: 150kcal
Equipment
- Aluminum foil
- Slow cooker (or crock pot)
Ingredients
- 5 Thinly Sliced Idaho Potatoes
- 4 Tablespoons of Cannabis-Infused Butter
- 2 Thinly Sliced Onions
- 1 Pound of Delicious Delicious Bacon
- ½ Pound of Grated Cheddar
- 1 Teaspoon of Salt
- ½ Teaspoon of Chili Powder
- ½ Teaspoon of Black Pepper
Instructions
- First and foremost, grab some aluminum foil and line your slow cooker (or crock pot) with it. Remember that you'll need enough to fully encapsulate the potatoes when it's all said and done.
- Then, you'll want to fire up a big ol'skillet on a mid-high heat setting.
- At this point, you'll toss in a tablespoon of your cannabis-infused butter. This is there to grease your cooking surface, to avoid sticking. Now comes the bacon's time to shine. Throw in the entire pound of bacon into the skillet. Be sure to cook the bacon thoroughly on both sides, you'll want these suckers to be nice and crisp -trust me.
- Once those are done, take them out of the skillet and place them nearby - you'll be needing them in just a second.
- Take that newly cooled (and de greased) bacon, along with your onions and potatoes, and start dicing them up. Take all those chopping's, along with some freshly grated cheddar cheese, and toss them into your slow cooker (or crock pot) that's been lined with aluminum foil. But don't just toss them in there willy-nilly. You'll want to layer these ingredients.
- Start with the potatoes, then the bacon, onions, some dollops of cannabis-infused butter, and round off the whole thing with a healthy smattering cheese.
- Before you start cooking these, be sure to season the potatoes with some chili powder, salt, and pepper. Once that's done, expertly wrap up your layered ingredients in the aluminum foil and put a lid on that sucker.
- Now, it becomes awaiting game, as you'll want to let these babies cook "low and slow"for the better part of 10 hours. So, grab a book, do some errands, or just smoke a little more - because these will need a good amount of time to cook, that's for sure.
Notes
But, once that time has elapsed, the only thing left for you to do is uncover your perfect potato dish and start plating it up. And that's it, party people. With minimal effort (and a lengthy cook time), you were able to successfully create your very own batch of Cheesy Bacon Potatoes fully infused with cannabis.
