Crispy Potatoes with Bacon, Garlic, and Parsley
Recipe courtesy Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, quartered with skin
(about 1 1/2-inch pieces)
Kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
3 pieces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 to 2 large cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
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.
