Ingredients
- 800 grams Potatoes
- 200 grams Bacon (thick-cut, smoked preferred)
- 1 Onion (medium-sized)
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 30 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds about 1/4-inch thick. If using small new potatoes, you can choose to leave the skin on for added texture. Rinse the slices to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Dice the bacon into small lardons or strips. Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Step 4
To the same pan, add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam slightly. Then, add the potato slices in a single layer. Cook them undisturbed for 5-7 minutes on one side, until golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if necessary, so the potatoes cook evenly and don’t overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the pan and set them aside. Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.
Step 6
Return the crispy bacon and cooked potatoes to the pan, mixing everything gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes for a fresh and vibrant finish. Serve immediately as a side dish or a hearty main course.
