Potatoes and Bacon

By kdet

Ingredients

• 4-6 Potatoes, diced
• 4 slices of bacon
• 1/2 Cup onion, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• Handful of chopped chives
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pan of boiling water, drop the potatoes in and blanch for 5-7 minutes; drain
Using another large pan over medium heat, start to cook off the bacon. Cook until almost crispy and then remove from heat. Do not clean the entire pan but remove some of the grease if there seems to be too much.
Add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the drained potatoes and the butter and begin to saute them over low heat. The potatoes will begin to brown from the bacon fat and butter. Let them cook until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Break the bacon up and add back in to the potatoes, stirring often
Toss in the chives at the end
ENJOY!
Zesty Tip: When frying the bacon, I save some of the fat to cook the potatoes in and I do not clean the pan before I add the blanched potatoes. This allows the potatoes to pick up all the bacon flavor and make this dish one to remember.
