Ingredients

1 pound Small Red Potatoes cut in 1-1½ inch pieces (small potatoes cut in half or quarters depending on their size)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
8 ounces Broccoli Florets
4 ounces Shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 Slices of Cooked Bacon chopped or crumbled

Instructions

Preheat oven 375°F
Add the cut potatoes to a baking dish (at least 1.5 quart). Add the olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until combined and the potatoes are coated with the seasoning.
Bake the potatoes for 25 minutes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Add in the broccoli and stir and toss to combine.
Bake the potatoes and broccoli for 20 minutes or until they both are tender.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir in half the cheese and half the crumbled bacon. Stir well. Top with the remaining cheese and the remaining bacon.
Place the broccoli and potatoes back in the oven and heat for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Try to cut the potatoes roughly the same size so that they cook at the same rate.
The cooking time will depend on how large or small the potato pieces are and how tender you like the broccoli. Add 3-5 minutes to the cooking time before adding the cheese, if desired.
Hand shred the cheese for a smoother texture but if you are pinched for time pre-shredded cheese is fine.
