Best Crispy Potato Bacon And Clam Flatbread Recipes

CRISPY POTATOES WITH BACON, GARLIC, AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry.
• Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
• Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.

STOUT-BRAISED CLAMS WITH POTATO, FENNEL, AND BACON

Steps:

• Put a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add the bacon and fry until it gets crispy and renders the fat, roughly 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the potatoes to the delicious fat left in the pot. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the potatoes get a little color and start to soften up, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, fennel, garlic, and pepper. Continue to cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Raise the heat to high. Toss in the clams and pour in the stout and stock. Give everything a good stir and cover the pot. Steam until the clams open, 5 to 8 minutes, discarding any that do not open. Stir in the butter and sprinkle the reserved fennel fronds on top. Serve the braised clams from the pot, ladling portions at the table.
