Sauteed Potatoes With Smoked Slab Bacon Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Using a chefs knife, trim the unpeeled potatoes into rectangular blocks. Cut each into 1/4-inch thick slices. Stack 2 or more slices together and cut them into 1/4-inch julienne strips. Cut these strips into 1/4-inch dice and place in a saucepan, covered with cold water, until ready to cook. Place the potatoes in cold water, bring to boil, then immediately take off the heat and drain. Allow the potatoes to air dry. The potatoes may be held at this point for several hours without blackening.
• Meanwhile prepare the persillade by mixing together the garlic and the parsley. If the potatoes aren't thoroughly dry, blot them with towels. Heat the oil in a very large skillet (ideally large enough to hold them in a single layer) over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until they brown lightly, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and discard the oil if you wish. Add the butter and continue sauteeing for another 5 minutes or longer to brown and crisp the potatoes completely. (the potatoes can be prepared to this point and held partially covered 1 hour before serving; if completely covered, they may develop off-taste and get soggy.
• Just before serving, toss the potatoes with the garlic and parsley over medium heat for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices, leaving skin on. Arrange them on smoker rack and season to taste with salt and pepper. Depending on moisture content of potatoes, cook on medium heat, using a tablespoon of hickory wood chips. Smoke for 35-45 minutes. Remove from smoker and toss with butter, salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, and place them in cold water to inhibit discoloration. Remove, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
• Heat half the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Pat potatoes dry; add half to pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until potatoes are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add half the butter; as it melts, toss to coat potatoes.
• Transfer to a serving plate; keep in a warm place while you repeat with remaining oil, potatoes, and butter. Toss potatoes with chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan on a high heat, simmer the potatoes for 5 mins in enough water to just cover them, then drain in a colander and leave for 1 min for the steam to escape.
• In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the persillade together and set aside. Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a high heat, add the lardons and cook for 8-10 mins until lightly caramelised. Add the potatoes, then the butter.
• Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until golden brown all over. Spoon out any excess fat and stir in the persillade. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Steps:

• Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
• If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
• Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
• Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
• Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a large casserole dish. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Toss in the bacon and season really well. Cook until golden and crisp, about 5 mins.
• In a large bowl, gently mix the potatoes with the onions, bacon and some more seasoning. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish and pat it all down, pouring over the stock.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hr 45 mins, covering the potatoes after an hour to stop them getting too dark. You should be able to push a knife through the potatoes with little resistance when the dish is cooked.
