Bacon Home Fries Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium-low heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Remove bacon drippings from pan and reserve. , Working in batches, add 1/4 cup bacon drippings, potatoes, onion, salt and pepper to pan; toss to coat. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until potatoes are golden brown and tender, 15-20 minutes, adding more drippings as needed. Stir in cooked bacon; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Leave the potatoes in the bag and cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so they aren't too soft (they will cook in the pan, plus, you'll need to break them down further). Remove from the bag and let cool until cool enough to handle, then cut the larger potatoes into sixths and the smaller ones into fourths.
• In a mid-sized pan on the stovetop or on a grill on medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside. Add the butter to the bacon fat. Once it has melted, add the potatoes in one layer if possible. (If not, do the potatoes in batches.) Cook the potatoes on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes, then toss and repeat. Do this a few times; if doing in batches, you can pile the cooked potatoes on the side of the pan while the new ones get attention. Once the potatoes are almost done, push them all to the sides of the pan.
• To the center of the pan add the peppers, onions, steak seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook the veggies, stirring, until the peppers and onions are tender but still have some crunch, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon back to the pan and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the scallions.

Steps:

• Cook French fries according to package directions. Place fries on a broiler-proof dish or platter. Sprinkle with cheese, onions and bacon. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Wrap half a bacon slice around each French fry and place seam side-down on the baking sheet about 1-inch apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Transfer to serving plate.

Steps:

• In large saucepan, add the potatoes and enough salted water to cover.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
• Drain and cool.
• Quarter each piece lengthwise, then slice crosswise.
• Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Reserve the rendered bacon fat, leaving 1 T in the skillet.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the cabbage and 1/2 cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet.
• Return the reserved bacon fat to the skillet; add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
• Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden-brown, about 8 minutes.
