Ingredients

• 8 slices Canadian bacon
• 4 medium Golden potatoes
• 2 medium Apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Gala)
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the golden potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel and core the apples, and cut them into thin wedges. Dice the onion into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 5

Next, add the apple wedges to the skillet with the onions. Sprinkle with the thyme leaves and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring gently, until the apples are slightly caramelized and tender. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir to combine.

Step 6

Push the apples and onions to one side of the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side of the skillet and lay the slices of Canadian bacon in a single layer. Sear the bacon for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Step 7

Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir everything gently to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy this comforting combination of savory and sweet flavors.
