Best 3 Bacon Home Fries Recipes

MUSHROOM, TOMATO AND ONION OMELET WITH HOME FRIES AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the bacon on a baking sheet and bake to the desired crispness, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter the potatoes and place them and the garlic in a medium pot with cold water to cover; add salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer until potatoes are fully cooked and soft, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
• While potatoes are cooking, start on the omelet filling: Cut the onion into small dice; you'll need 1/2 cup. Remove and discard the stems from the mushrooms, then thinly slice the caps. Seed the tomatoes and cut into small dice.
• In a skillet over medium heat, sweat half of the onions, seasoned with salt, in some olive oil until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and continue cooking until slightly soft, another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes; cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add salt to taste.
• Whisk the eggs together with 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt until fluffy. Set aside.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add olive oil to coat the pan. Add the remaining 1/4 cup diced onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes; cook until golden brown and crispy, about 6 minutes.
• Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add olive oil to coat. Add the egg mixture and cook until set, frequently moving the edges away from the pan with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with a layer of shredded fontina, add the filling to the middle, and fold the omelet. Cook until the cheese has melted, another minute or two.
• Arrange all--bacon, home fries and omelet--on a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve with pumpernickel toast on the side.

SUNNY'S EASY BACON, PEPPERS AND CHEESE HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Leave the potatoes in the bag and cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so they aren't too soft (they will cook in the pan, plus, you'll need to break them down further). Remove from the bag and let cool until cool enough to handle, then cut the larger potatoes into sixths and the smaller ones into fourths.
• In a mid-sized pan on the stovetop or on a grill on medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside. Add the butter to the bacon fat. Once it has melted, add the potatoes in one layer if possible. (If not, do the potatoes in batches.) Cook the potatoes on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes, then toss and repeat. Do this a few times; if doing in batches, you can pile the cooked potatoes on the side of the pan while the new ones get attention. Once the potatoes are almost done, push them all to the sides of the pan.
• To the center of the pan add the peppers, onions, steak seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook the veggies, stirring, until the peppers and onions are tender but still have some crunch, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon back to the pan and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the scallions.

BACON HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Let bacon cool on a plate lined with paper towel.
• Drain all but 2 tablespoons fat from the skillet. Stir potatoes, onion, and bell pepper into reserved drippings; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes and pressing the potatoes with the back of a spatula, until potatoes are golden brown and soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Crumble bacon over the potato mixture and stir.
