Breakfast Potatoes
Fried potatoes with bacon and a maple glaze, the weekend brunch side.
Ingredients
- Olive oil 1 tbsp
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh parsley
- Garlic
- Potatoes 3 medium
- Bacon rashers 2 strips
- Allspice
- Maple syrup 1 tbsp
Method
- Before you do anything, freeze your bacon slices that way when you're ready to prep, it'll be so much easier to chop!
- Wash the potatoes and cut medium dice into square pieces.
- To prevent any browning, place the already cut potatoes in a bowl filled with water.
- In the meantime, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Tilt the skillet so the oil spreads evenly.
- Once the oil is hot, drain the potatoes and add to the skillet.
- Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay as needed.
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring the potatoes often, until brown.
- If needed, add a tablespoon more of oil.
- Chop up the bacon and add to the potatoes.
- The bacon will start to render and the fat will begin to further cook the potatoes.
- Toss it up a bit!
- The bacon will take 5-6 minutes to crisp.
- Once the bacon is cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the minced garlic and toss.
- Season once more.
- Add dried or fresh parsley.
- Control heat as needed.
- Let the garlic cook until fragrant, about one minute.
- Just before serving, drizzle over the maple syrup and toss.
- Let that cook another minute, giving the potatoes a caramelized effect.
- Serve in a warm bowl with a sunny side up egg!
