Ingredients

4 thick-cut slices bacon, roughly chopped
2 (1/4-inch thick) slices pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and pancetta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon and pancetta are brown and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and pancetta pieces to paper towels to drain. Add the potatoes and garlic to the pan. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are golden and cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add the thyme, cooked bacon and cooked pancetta to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Transfer the potatoes to a large serving bowl and serve immediately.

Bacon and potatoes are perfect together
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Like another viewer, I used all bacon. I only had rosemary too so I used that instead. On the show, Giada does cook the... potatoes in the grease and this adds a nice flavor to the potatoes. We had the leftovers for breakfast!Read more

DELISH!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this one is a keeper for sure! I did everything as directed, but used 2 potatoes instead of 3. It was perfect. If you are... real meat lovers like my husband and I, then throw in a couple extra slices of bacon =) Read more

Great side dish for brunch or dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband was excited to try this & asked me to print this recipe immediately after we watched Giada make this on her show. ... He made this recipe, & it turned out wonderful! Since we didn't have fresh thyme, we substituted dried thyme. Everything was perfectly seasoned for us. We served it as a side dish for dinner, but it would also be a perfect addition for breakfast or brunch. I enjoyed the leftovers the next 2 mornings, alongside my omelets. Thanks, Giada, for inspiring my husband to want to get in the kitchen & cook more with me (& for me)!Read more

Amazing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great dish...and so easy! The trick to getting the potatoes beautiful and brown is not overcrowding the pan.... Ideally you want a single layer of potatoes so they cook evenly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Great flavor from bacon fat! My guy loved them. Will definitely be making again! Read more
