Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup bacon, diced
½ cup yellow onion, diced
½ cup vegetable oil
3 yukon gold potatoes, boiled whole until just tender and cut into quaters
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Sauté the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving as much grease as possible in the pan, and set aside to drain on paper towels.
  • In the pan with the bacon fat, sauté the onions until translucent, for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the onions from the pan, leaving behind any remaining bacon fat.
  • Add the vegetable oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add the potatoes to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and sauté the potatoes until they begin to get a golden crust, 15-20 minutes.
  • Return the bacon and cooked onions to the pan and toss gently with the potatoes. Sauté for another 5 minutes, until everything is heated through and golden brown.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.
  • Enjoy!
