Ingredients

  • 1 pound red bliss potatoes
  • Salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 pound pancetta, cut into small chunks
  • 3 leeks, washed and cut in half moons
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

Cut the red potatoes in half. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside.

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add the pancetta and cook until crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the leeks and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and toss well to combine. Stir in the smoked paprika and red pepper flakes and cook for 5 minutes. Mix well, then add the fresh herbs. Season the hash, to taste, with salt and pepper.

    Pretty tasty, hearty meal. Served it w/ a salad for a lighter contrast. A few modifications:

    - Increased pancetta amount (0.4 lb instead of 0.25
    - Can omit parsley if you don't have handy

    I have commented on the entire show aired on April 11th b/c I prepared it for my family,but this here! This here was the best! I love pancetta, leeks and potatoes! The combination was wonderful! The marriage was on time! This recipe was the first to disappear from the dinner table! The entire show was named correctly. It was truly a DYNAMITE DINNER! I will definitely prepare this again! Thank you Big Daddy!

    This was a great recipe. Instead of using potatoes though I used turnips. It was great!!! Prepared them the same way and they came out perfect. If you want that crusty chared effect you get at a diner just leave them in the pan longer. MMmmm!! Also, the leeks are a great touch because this is a great food item that isn't used often enough...in this home cook's opinion.
