Description

A delightful dish featuring golden, crispy potatoes, sautéed onions, and flavorful bacon, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and diced
  • 8 oz thick-cut beef bacon, turkey bacon, or chopped chicken strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by scrubbing and dicing the potatoes, slicing the onion, and chopping the bacon or chicken.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes, season and mix well. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to form a crust, then gently flip and cook for another 10-15 minutes until fork-tender and crispy.
  4. Optionally, broil for extra crunch and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
