Fried Potatoes And Bacon Recipes

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.

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.
