what to do with leftover baked potatoes: Cheesy taters like home fries

Had 3 large baked potatoes left over from dinner the other night.  Skinned them, cut them into chunks and layered them out on a glass baking dish.  Sprinkled them with garlic powder, onion powder and a bare small amount of salt.  Cut mild cheddar slices and layered those on over the taters.  The cheese was cut pretty thin, but not see-through thin.

Put the pan into the oven.  Turned it onto 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Left it to bake.  In about 30 minutes checked it.  Took another 10 to be golden and crispy.

Ate them with ketchup.  Turns out the texture of the potato is about the same as a perfectly cooked home fry.  The cheese on top is crispy and delish.  In between the home fry crumbly tater and the crispy crust is a layer of melted cheese.

Oh my, lunch was delicious!!
