APPLES, POTATOES, AND BACON
Steps:
- Put a pan of water on to boil. Scrub the potatoes and cut them into large pieces, drop them into the boiling water and cook for ten minutes, then drain. Roughly crush the juniper berries. Cut the apples into quarters and remove the cores.
- Warm the butter in a shallow pan with the olive oil, then add the crushed juniper berries, apples and drained potatoes. Keep the heat low to moderate and the pan partially covered with a lid. Baste from time to time. As the apples and potatoes edge towards tenderness, add the back bacon to the pan and let it cook in the appley butter. Season with salt, coarsely ground black pepper and half the chopped parsley.
- When the potatoes are golden and the apples soft, remove everything from the pan on to warm plates. Tip away any fat, but not any delicious crusty bits stuck to the pan, then spoon in the crème fraîche and mustard. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then spoon over the bacon and apples.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best. They hold their shape well and won't become mushy when cooked.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch cubes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can brown evenly. If necessary, cook them in batches.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork. If they are not tender, continue cooking them until they are.
- Season the potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Use a good quality bacon: The bacon is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will give it a nice texture and flavor.
- Add the apples and onions: Once the bacon is cooked, add the apples and onions to the pan and cook until they are softened.
- Add the potatoes and broth: Add the cooked potatoes and broth to the pan and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are heated through.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot. You can garnish it with chopped parsley or chives.

This recipe for apples, potatoes, and bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great side dish for roasted chicken or pork. The combination of sweet apples, savory bacon, and tender potatoes is sure to please everyone at the table.
