This updated twist on a BLT uses roasted potato slices as the “bread” with a creamy avocado topping, and bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Use purple or red baby or new potatoes for added color and vitamin C, which helps makes this dish an excellent source of Vitamin C per serving. To save time, use commercial bacon bits and microwave the potato slices for 5 minutes instead of roasting.
