Potato Wedges

What a joy it is to work with farm fresh potatoes! They crisp nicely, yet retain a soft middle...mm mm...just can't get that from the store!!



8 slice of bacon (take your pick of Mountain View, Wintergrass or Sweetgrass all equally great !!)
4 The Farm  B/B new potatoes
2 tbsp fresh Thyme, chopped
3/4 c shredded Mountain View Colby
Fresh ground Black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (this works great on a grill too)

Cut bacon into 1" pieces, render over medium heat in a large cast iron pan. (if you are doing this on the grill, place pan over one burner over high heat). Render until just crisp and the fat has been released. (this may take slightly longer on the grill, maybe 2-3 minutes more).
Meanwhile, cut potatoes into 8 wedges each.
When bacon is crisped, add in potato wedges, thyme and pepper. Toss to coat carefully. Place in oven for 40 minutes, stirring carefully every 10 minutes or so. (do the same on the grill). Potatoes are done when nicely golden and crisp.Remove from heat, sprinkle Colby cheese over top. Add black pepper to taste.
