Crispy Potatoes With Bacon Garlic And Parsley Recipes

ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON, CHEESE, AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Return potatoes to the pot; cover with a lid and shake pot vigorously, about 1 minute. Uncover and cool potatoes until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Peel potatoes and cut them crosswise into chunks.
• Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until most of the fat has melted and bacon is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
• Brush the bottom of a shallow 10x15-inch baking pan with half of the bacon fat and olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over potatoes and arrange in the baking pan.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until golden brown on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Turn potatoes over in baking pan. Top with bacon pieces, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and garlic. Drizzle remaining bacon fat on top.
• Return to the preheated oven and continue roasting until Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

DICED POTATOES SAUTEED WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Using a chefs knife, trim the unpeeled potatoes into rectangular blocks. Cut each into 1/4-inch thick slices. Stack 2 or more slices together and cut them into 1/4-inch julienne strips. Cut these strips into 1/4-inch dice and place in a saucepan, covered with cold water, until ready to cook. Place the potatoes in cold water, bring to boil, then immediately take off the heat and drain. Allow the potatoes to air dry. The potatoes may be held at this point for several hours without blackening.
• Meanwhile prepare the persillade by mixing together the garlic and the parsley. If the potatoes aren't thoroughly dry, blot them with towels. Heat the oil in a very large skillet (ideally large enough to hold them in a single layer) over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until they brown lightly, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and discard the oil if you wish. Add the butter and continue sauteeing for another 5 minutes or longer to brown and crisp the potatoes completely. (the potatoes can be prepared to this point and held partially covered 1 hour before serving; if completely covered, they may develop off-taste and get soggy.
• Just before serving, toss the potatoes with the garlic and parsley over medium heat for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

CRISPY POTATOES WITH BACON, GARLIC, AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• 1. 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.
