Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups Fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Place the diced potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, until the potatoes are just fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, chop the bacon into small pieces and mince the garlic. Finely chop the parsley and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy, stirring occasionally. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest.
Add the olive oil to the reserved bacon fat in the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the partially cooked potatoes in a single layer. Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and crispy.
Flip the potatoes and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all sides are crispy and browned.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes. Give everything a good toss to combine.
Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and crisp. Enjoy your Crispy Potatoes with Bacon, Garlic, and Parsley!
