Best Skillet Canadian Bacon And Potatoes Recipes

LOADED BREAKFAST SKILLET

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve most of the bacon fat in skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onions until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; toss to coat evenly in bacon fat. Pour in water and cover skillet with a large lid. Cook, checking occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add green onions, garlic, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make 4 wells in the potato mixture using a wooden spoon, revealing the bottom of the skillet. Crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cooked bacon and Cheddar cheese over the entire skillet. Replace lid; cook until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes.

CANADIAN BACON AND POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, egg whites, canadian bacon, cilantro, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In non-stick skillet, add oil and saute onion for 1 minute then add potatoes and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes to a plate and set aside.
• Melt butter in the skillet and pour in egg mixture. The eggs should begin to set around the edges almost immediately. Lift edges and tilt skillet to allow uncooked egg to roll under cooked eggs. Continue until eggs are set.
• Sprinkle eggs with cheese and add potatoes to top of omelet then fold eggs over to enclose cheese and potatoes. Remove to a plate.
• At this point, I cut the omelet in half and place on two plates. I sprinkle a bit more cheese over top of omelet, add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of pico de gallo.
• NOTE: I recently read a tip to cut the heat in jalapinos without sacrificing the flavor -- After seeding the peppers place in abowl of hot tap water for 10-20 minutes to soak out pepper oils which hold the heat of the peppers.

CANADIAN BACON, APPLES AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil until hot but not smoking over medium-high heat. Add the apple, onion, and bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until the apple and onion are softened and the bacon is lightly crisped, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the broth and potatoes and bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, honey, mustard, cornstarch, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir the vinegar mixture into the skillet, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in beets and dill weed and cook until the beets ae just warmed through, about 1 minute longer.

CANADIAN BACON AND POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Beat egg product, chives, milk, salt, thyme and pepper in medium bowl; set aside.
• Spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add bell pepper; cook and stir over medium heat 1 minute. Add potatoes; cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently until potatoes begin to brown. Stir in Canadian bacon; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
• Add egg mixture to skillet; cover and cook over medium-low heat until set, 6 to 9 minutes, lifting edges occasionally to allow uncooked egg mixture to flow to bottom of skillet.
• Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute longer. Cut into wedges.

CRISPY SKILLET POTATOES WITH BACON

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.
