Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Potatoes
- 200 grams Bacon (thick-cut, smoked preferred)
- 1 Onion (medium-sized)
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 30 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds about 1/4-inch thick. If using small new potatoes, you can choose to leave the skin on for added texture. Rinse the slices to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Dice the bacon into small lardons or strips. Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Heat a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
To the same pan, add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam slightly. Then, add the potato slices in a single layer. Cook them undisturbed for 5-7 minutes on one side, until golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if necessary, so the potatoes cook evenly and don’t overcrowd the pan.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the pan and set them aside. Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.
Return the crispy bacon and cooked potatoes to the pan, mixing everything gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes for a fresh and vibrant finish. Serve immediately as a side dish or a hearty main course.
