Bacon Drippings Roasted Potatoes Recipes

BACON ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wash the potatoes and boil them until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut in half. Meanwhile, in a pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain the potatoes and place them in an oven-safe pan with the bacon, bacon fat, and rosemary sprigs. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, remember to stir the pan once or twice so that the potatoes are evenly browned and the bacon fat completely coats the potatoes.

CRISPY SKILLET POTATOES WITH BACON

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.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, then carefully transfer drippings from skillet to a small heatproof bowl and stir in white parts of scallions, salt, and pepper.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Tear off 6 (1-foot-long) sheets of heavy-duty foil.
• Make deep crosswise cuts in potatoes 1/4 inch apart, leaving bottom 1/4 inch intact (do not cut all the way through). Place each potato on a sheet of foil and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon bacon-dripping mixture, separating slices to allow some to drip into cuts. Gather up foil around potatoes, crimping foil to tightly enclose.
• Roast potatoes until tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Just before serving, stir together sour cream and scallion greens and crumble bacon over mixture.
• Carefully open foil packets and transfer packets to a platter. Serve potatoes with sour-cream topping.

• Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until most of the fat has melted and bacon is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
• Brush the bottom of a shallow 10x15-inch baking pan with half of the bacon fat and olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over potatoes and arrange in the baking pan.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until golden brown on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Turn potatoes over in baking pan. Top with bacon pieces, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and garlic. Drizzle remaining bacon fat on top.
