Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (divided) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes cook, dice the bacon into small pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Core the apples and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes (leave the peel on for extra texture). Thinly slice the onion. Set both aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet with the bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the drained potatoes in a single layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes develop a golden-brown crust. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the apples, cinnamon, and thyme, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the apples start to caramelize.
Pour the bourbon into the skillet and stir, allowing the alcohol to cook off (about 1 minute). Add the maple syrup and cook for another minute, coating the apples and onions in the sweet glaze.
Return the potatoes to the skillet along with the cooked bacon. Stir everything together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to combine and heat through. Adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the final tablespoon of butter for added richness. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Maple Bourbon Apple Hash as a standalone dish or alongside eggs and toast for a complete meal.
