Serves: 2, Difficulty: Intermediate
Preparation Time: 20 minutes, Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 400g potatoes, peeled and diced
- 150g bacon, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 30g butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 10g fresh parsley, chopped
- 5g fresh thyme
- 5g fresh rosemary
Method
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the diced potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the crispy bacon from the skillet, leaving the bacon fat. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet, mixing them with the onions. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
- Season the potatoes and onion mixture with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Stir in the crispy bacon, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips
- For an extra crispy texture, allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed in the skillet for a few minutes, forming a golden crust.
- Experiment with a splash of vinegar for a tangy twist, or a dash of smoky paprika for additional depth of flavor.
