For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the potatoes instead of boiling them. Toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sprig of rosemary, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or even a smoked Gouda would add a unique twist. If you're not a fan of bacon bits, try using crumbled cooked bacon for a more authentic flavor.
