Savory Bacon Custard Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a pot and cover with water. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, cook until a fork can easily pierce through the potatoes, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and add to a bowl.
• Place the bacon in a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Allow the bacon to render and crisp, about 5 minutes. Reserve the fat.
• Put the buttermilk and heavy cream into a saucepan and scald. Reserve until needed.
• Smash the potatoes just a little bit, and then season with salt and pepper. Add the butter, a touch of the heated buttermilk/heavy cream, the scallions and 1 tablespoon bacon fat and smash. Taste and re-season if needed, adding more buttermilk/heavy cream if desired. Fold in the rendered bacon, reserving some for garnish. Garnish with the reserved bacon and scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 7x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Place cottage cheese in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add butter, 1/4 tsp salt and ¼ teaspoons black pepper and blend to combine. Set aside. In a 10" skillet on medium heat, cook bacon for 4 minutes then add garlic and green onion and continue cooking until bacon crisp. Stir in thyme and sun dried tomatoes. Remove mixture with a slotted spoon and place in a small bowl. Spread 1/3 of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish and top with ½ of the bacon mixture and 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat this and end with the last 1/3 of the potatoes and the last 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture. Cover tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, yogurt and remaining salt and pepper. Uncover the potatoes and pour the yogurt mixture over the potatoes. Bake about 20 minutes or until custard is set. Serves 4.

Steps:

• Put cream in a small pot with thyme and garlic, if you're using them. Cook just until it begins to steam. Heat oven to 300 degrees and set a kettle of water to boil.
• Put eggs, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl and whisk or beat until blended; stir in the cheese. Remove thyme and garlic from cream, then add cream gradually to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture into a 1-quart dish or into 4 ramekins or custard cups.
• Put dish or ramekins in a deep baking pan and pour boiling water in, to within about 1 inch of top of dish or ramekins. Bake until mixture is not quite set; it should jiggle a bit in middle. This will take about 30 minutes for ramekins and longer for baking dish; also, cream sets faster than milk. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold within a few hours of baking.

Steps:

• Place flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening and butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water 1 tablespoonful at a time, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine potatoes and water; microwave, covered, on high until tender, 4-5 minutes. Cool; drain. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually whisk in milk, garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Cool and set aside., On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Trim even with rim. Place potatoes in crust. Top with bacon, onion, broccoli and cheese. Pour sauce over top. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Place on a baking sheet., Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 50-60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
