Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, quartered with skin (about 1 1/2-inch pieces)
Kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
3 pieces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 to 2 large cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry.

Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.

Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.

great side dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These potatoes were great, very flavorful, and attractive too. I got a little worried while I was preparing the dish because... my potatoes were not browning as fast as the recipe said they would. Then I read others reviews and theirs also took a little longer. Very yummy and I will be adding it to my recipe box for sure!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used dried parsley and bottled minced garlic! WAS STILL DELICIOUS! Highly recommend these! It took quite a bit longer to... brown. Maybe because I used a teflon coated saute pan. GREAT THOUGH! Worth the effort.Read more

Really enjoyed this
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. Did not think it was too greasy, but would recommend using fresh bacon rather... than the kind you can microwave.Read more
