Potatoes With Bacon And Onion Recipes

POTATOES WITH BACON AND ONION

Steps:

• Bring potatoes, stock, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, tomato, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a sharp knife, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Strain cooking liquid through a coarse sieve (allowing some thyme leaves through); discard solids.
• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fat is rendered and bacon is just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add onion, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is golden, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Add potatoes to skillet, and pour enough cooking liquid (1 1/2 to 2 cups) to come halfway up sides. Raise heat to medium-high. Simmer, turning potatoes occasionally to coat and seasoning with salt and pepper halfway through, until liquid has reduced and glazes potatoes, about 15 minutes.

Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
• Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.
