Breakfast Potatoes With Bacon Recipes

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.

CRISPY CHEESE AND BACON POTATOES

Steps:

• COOK THE BACON: Spread the bacon strips out across a large rimmed baking sheet pan and place on the middle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature to 400 degrees. Set a timer for 16 minutes and check the bacon. Remove it from the oven when it is as crisp or crunchy as you like. I remove ours at 18 minutes and it's a great balance of chewy crunch. If you like your bacon crispy enough to crumble, you will probably want to cook it another minute past that.
• COOK THE POTATOES: While the bacon is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. There should be 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease left on the sheet pan. (If there is more than that, drain off a bit.) Put the potatoes on the pan and toss with tongs to thoroughly coat them in the bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, stir well and bake an additional 20 minutes. Stir again, making sure that none of the potatoes are sticking to the tray. Bake another 15 minutes.
• Chop the bacon into small pieces. Remove the potatoes from the oven, stir again and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and chopped bacon. Return the tray to the oven and bake an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Top with sliced green onions just before serving. Enjoy!

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.
