Breakfast Potatoes With Bacon Food

CHEESY BACON POTATO BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC.
• Toss the potatoes with olive oil and salt and transfer to a baking sheet. Allow to bake until crisp and golden (approximately 30 minutes) then remove from the oven.
• In the meantime, fry the onion and bacon until the bacon is crisp. Add the garlic and cook for another 20 seconds then remove from the heat.
• Place the potatoes, bacon and onion mixture and half of the cheese into a casserole dish.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, cream and seasoning together and pour over the potatoes and bacon. Top with the remaining cheese and place in the oven.
• Allow to bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 5-10 minutes then slice and serve.

ONE PAN BREAKFAST POTATOES AND BACON

Steps:

• BACON: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously spray (with nonstick cooking spray) a very large sheet pan. Lay out 10 slices of bacon. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is at desired crispiness. Remove from the oven and using a metal spatula, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate. Set aside. Once the bacon has cooled off a bit, coarsely chop it and set aside.
• VEGGIES: Meanwhile, wash and prepare the veggies. Chop the red potatoes, peppers, and onion and then place the prepared veggies on the same sheet pan you used to cook the bacon on (don't discard the bacon grease!). Add the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and dried parsley. Toss well to ensure all the veggies are well coated and tossed in seasonings. Spread out the veggies so they aren't overlapping (this will cause veggies to steam not roast)
• BAKE: Bake for 15 minutes, toss the veggies with a metal spatula. Return to the oven for 15 more minutes. Remove and toss again. Return, once more for 5-10 minutes or until veggies are crisp tender.
• ENJOY: Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper before serving if needed. Add the chopped bacon on top and, if desired, freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy hot!

BACON HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Lay the bacon pieces on a baking sheet and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato, about 1/8 inch apart, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom.
• Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and carefully transfer to a baking sheet; let cool slightly. Pat the potatoes dry, then insert 3 pieces of the frozen bacon into the cuts of each potato, spacing the bacon evenly and letting it poke out of the top. Melt 5 tablespoons butter and brush generously over the potatoes and in the cuts. Reserve any excess butter for basting. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the potatoes to the oven and bake until the outsides are browned and crisp, about 2 hours, basting halfway through with the reserved melted butter.
• When the potatoes are almost done, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and mix with the scallions, parsley and garlic. Spoon over the potatoes and roast 5 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and season with salt and pepper.

BACON-FRIED BREAKFAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and then slice into 1/8-inch half moons. Place slices in a bowl of ice water to prevent them from browning while you cook the bacon.
• Cook bacon in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease in the skillet.
• Drain potatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder and toss to coat.
• Add potatoes to the bacon grease and cook over medium-low hear, stirring occasionally to make sure they aren't burning, until nicely browned with crispy edges and soft insides, 30 to 35 minutes. Cover the pan as needed to speed up the process.
• Remove potatoes from the pan. Drizzle with ranch dressing and garnish with bacon crumbles.

BOULANGER POTATOES WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a large casserole dish. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Toss in the bacon and season really well. Cook until golden and crisp, about 5 mins.
• In a large bowl, gently mix the potatoes with the onions, bacon and some more seasoning. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish and pat it all down, pouring over the stock.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hr 45 mins, covering the potatoes after an hour to stop them getting too dark. You should be able to push a knife through the potatoes with little resistance when the dish is cooked.
