Fry the bacon/macon until crisp and chop roughly. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Cut potatoes into wedges.
Place potatoes in large bowl and add bacon fat, melted butter, salt, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Toss well to coat.
Pour out potatoes onto a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
Flip and roast for another 10-15 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
Mound the potatoes into four piles.
Cover each pile with cheese, bacon/macon, and cheddar cheese.
