Bacon Dutch Yellow Hasselback Potatoes Recipes

BACON DUTCH YELLOW HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F, and adjust a rack to the center. Several Bacon Dutch Yellow Hasselback Potatoes on a long, white narrow plate surrounded with fresh basil leaves
• Use a very sharp knife to slice a sliver off of one of the sides of each potato to make a base. Then make slits approximately ⅛-inch apart, horizontally, along each potato. (The slits should go about ¾ of the way down -- be careful not to cut all the way through!) Place them on the parchment-lined, baking sheet.
• Cut the bacon into very small pieces that are about the width and a bit shorter than the height of the slits in the potatoes. Try to use the pieces with the least amount of fat, and try not to use those that are only fat. This is why I say 2 to 3 slices -- it depends on the bacon you're using. (Though it's not necessary, it's easier to cut the bacon if you freeze it first for about 15 minutes.)
• Very carefully, add the pieces of bacon to each of the slits in the potatoes. If it seems too fragile, don't add bacon to the slits closest to the ends.
• Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the potatoes. Just a bit! (We don't want to make them too greasy -- but, the olive oil will help them brown nicely.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast them in the preheated 400°F oven until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. (Check them after 20 minutes.)
• While the potatoes are in the oven, add the basil, garlic and olive oil to a small bowl and mix to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Right after you remove the potatoes from the oven, use a pastry brush, or a small spoon to drizzle the basil mixture over each one. Be sure you see it seeping into the slits with the bacon -- a pastry brush will be the easiest tool to help you do so.
• Place the potatoes on a large platter and serve!

BACON HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• To a large cast-iron pan, add the bacon in an even layer. Turn the heat to medium and cook until crispy, around 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside. When cool enough to handle, break into pieces.
• To the bacon fat in the pan, add the maple syrup, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. Set aside.
• One at a time, place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice each potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices; the spoon handles will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through. Place the potatoes in the pan and baste with the bacon fat/maple syrup mixture all over, including the bottoms and in between the slices. Roast until the potatoes are soft, basting halfway through, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and add bacon between the slices. Place on a serving platter and garnish with the chives and salt to taste.
