Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Canadian bacon
- 4 medium Golden potatoes
- 2 medium Apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the golden potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel and core the apples, and cut them into thin wedges. Dice the onion into small pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Once the butter is melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Next, add the apple wedges to the skillet with the onions. Sprinkle with the thyme leaves and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring gently, until the apples are slightly caramelized and tender. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir to combine.
Push the apples and onions to one side of the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side of the skillet and lay the slices of Canadian bacon in a single layer. Sear the bacon for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir everything gently to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this comforting combination of savory and sweet flavors.
