Steamed New Potatoes With Bacon Food

CRISPY POTATOES WITH BACON, GARLIC, AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• 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.

STEAMED NEW POTATOES WITH BACON

Steps:

• Steam potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes.
• While potatoes are steaming fry the bacon until golden then remove it from the pan to drain. Chop the bacon.
• Add shallots to the bacon fat and saute until they just begin to brown. Off heat stir in the vinegar.
• When the potatoes are tender, remove them to a serving dish and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss lightly with the bacon fat mixture, dust with the chopped bacon and parsley and serve.
