Sauteed Potatoes With Smoked Slab Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, simmer for 1 minute and then drain well and set aside. The potatoes will be cooked about halfway through.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Add the olive oil to the skillet with the bacon drippings and increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes cut-side down. Cook, turning occasionally until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the crispy bacon. Season generously with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the chives.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan on a high heat, simmer the potatoes for 5 mins in enough water to just cover them, then drain in a colander and leave for 1 min for the steam to escape.
• In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the persillade together and set aside. Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a high heat, add the lardons and cook for 8-10 mins until lightly caramelised. Add the potatoes, then the butter.
• Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until golden brown all over. Spoon out any excess fat and stir in the persillade. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices, leaving skin on. Arrange them on smoker rack and season to taste with salt and pepper. Depending on moisture content of potatoes, cook on medium heat, using a tablespoon of hickory wood chips. Smoke for 35-45 minutes. Remove from smoker and toss with butter, salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop when cool enough to handle. Transfer 3 tablespoons bacon drippings to a large bowl.
• Add mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, paprika, mustard powder, parsley, chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and seasoned salt to the bacon drippings and whisk until combined. Stir in red onion and chopped bacon. Fold in cooked potatoes. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a large casserole dish. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Toss in the bacon and season really well. Cook until golden and crisp, about 5 mins.
• In a large bowl, gently mix the potatoes with the onions, bacon and some more seasoning. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish and pat it all down, pouring over the stock.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hr 45 mins, covering the potatoes after an hour to stop them getting too dark. You should be able to push a knife through the potatoes with little resistance when the dish is cooked.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in large pot of salted water.
• Bring to a boil and blanch for 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and drain then set aside.
• In large skillet cook the bacon over medium-high heat until brown and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Add the onions, essence, salt and cayenne to the fat in the pan and saute until soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add the garlic and saute about 1 minute.
• Add the drained potatoes and olive oil and cook, turning until browned on both sides.
• Return the bacon to the pan, add the parsley and green onions.
• Cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
• If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
• Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
• Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
• Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Steps:

• Place potatoes, unpeeled, in a saucepan with water to cover and salt.
• Cook potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool. When cool enough to handle, peel them. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch slices.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold potatoes in one layer. When oil is quite hot, add potatoes. Cook over high heat, shaking skillet and stirring gently, until lightly browned. Turn potatoes with a spatula. Cook for a few minutes more until light brown.
• Drain excess fat from skillet and add onion. Cook a few minutes until onion is lightly browned. Add butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss and blend well. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
