Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, quartered with skin (about 1 1/2-inch pieces)
Kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
3 pieces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 to 2 large cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry.
  • Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Roasted Potato Recipes

Time 1h47m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tablespoon salt
6 slices bacon, halved and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Return potatoes to the pot; cover with a lid and shake pot vigorously, about 1 minute. Uncover and cool potatoes until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Peel potatoes and cut them crosswise into chunks.
  • Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until most of the fat has melted and bacon is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Brush the bottom of a shallow 10x15-inch baking pan with half of the bacon fat and olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over potatoes and arrange in the baking pan.
  • Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until golden brown on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Turn potatoes over in baking pan. Top with bacon pieces, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and garlic. Drizzle remaining bacon fat on top.
  • Return to the preheated oven and continue roasting until Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F/220°C) for the first 30 minutes. This will help them achieve a crispy skin.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F/175°C for the remaining cooking time. This will help the potatoes cook through without drying out.
  • Add your favorite toppings to the potatoes after they are cooked. Some popular options include butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, and bacon.
  • If you are using a convection oven, reduce the cooking time by about 25%.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked potatoes with bacon are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great side dish for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and some time in the oven, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
