Do not rinse or soak the potatoes, as this will wash away their starch, which is essential to the dish. A mandoline makes slicing the potatoes much easier. For the proper texture, make sure to let the casserole stand 20 minutes before serving.

Yield 1 Casserole, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 slices bacon, thick-cut cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, halved and sliced thin
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups beef broth

Remove and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot. Return pot to medium heat and add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes, adjusting heat and adding water 1 tablespoon at a time if onion or bottom of pot becomes too dark. Transfer onion to large bowl; add bacon, thyme, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add broths to now-empty saucepan and bring to simmer over medium-high heat, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any browned bits.
  • 3. Slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to bowl with onion mixture and toss to combine. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Firmly press down on mixture to compress into even layer. Carefully pour hot broth over top of potatoes. Dot surface evenly with butter.
  • 4. Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and golden brown on edges and most of liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let stand for 20 minutes to fully absorb broth before cutting and serving.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND BACON POTATO SALAD



Caramelized Onion and Bacon Potato Salad image

I was looking for a lower-calorie way to make my husband's favorite summer side dish, as my traditional potato salad was laden with eggs and mayo! The tzatziki dip as dressing certainly did the trick! The tarragon in the onions gives that hint of 'what is that?' to this recipe! Can be served warm or chilled.

CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO SALAD WITH BACON

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 potatoes
8 slices bacon
1 large onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
chives (optional, sort of)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the potatoes (with skins attached, gotta love the extra vitamins) into bite sized pieces and get them boiling in water without salt.
  • 2. "Fake" caramelize the onions by sweating them over medium heat with the butter and brown sugar. This takes about 20-30 minutes.
  • 3. Cut the bacon into little pieces and fry them up. Use the cheap bacon, it doesn't really matter here. I take a package and cut the whole thing in half and use that. You want them all browned but not too crunchy. Drain them on a paper towel.
  • 4. By the time 2 and 3 are done, the potatoes should be ready. Don't let them get mushy. You want them firm enough to stay together when you pierce them with the fork.
  • 5. Mix the potatoes, onions, and bacon. Yum.
  • 6. Let these three things cool.
  • 7. Mix the remaining ingredients well, leaving extra chives out for garnish. I use wild chives when they are available because they are free, grow like weeds, and are easy to distinguish. The measurements are approximate. This dish rocks. You can leave out the chives but you are doing yourself a great disservice. Make sure you use fresh rosemary and chop it finely. The dried stuff will not do so well in this dish unless you let it sit for at least a day or two before eating.
  • 8. Gently stir in about half of the dressing. You want to be sure to not overdo it on the dressing, so I start with half and add as needed. Just go with what's right for you.
  • 9. Let it chill for an hour at least for the flavors to marry. And say yum again.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use yellow or white onions. Red onions will give the salad a slightly bitter taste.
  • Slice the onions thinly so they caramelize evenly.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat so they have time to caramelize without burning.
  • Stir the onions frequently to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly before adding them to the potato salad.
  • Use a waxy potato for this salad, such as a Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potato. Waxy potatoes hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, so they won't fall apart in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. You don't want them to be mushy.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
  • For the best flavor, use a homemade mayonnaise for this salad.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the salad, such as chopped parsley, chives, or dill.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

This caramelized onion potato salad with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The caramelized onions add a sweet and savory flavor to the salad, while the bacon adds a smoky flavor. The potatoes are tender and creamy, and the mayonnaise dressing is tangy and flavorful. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
