Bacon Fried Potatoes Recipes

BACON-FRIED BREAKFAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and then slice into 1/8-inch half moons. Place slices in a bowl of ice water to prevent them from browning while you cook the bacon.
• Cook bacon in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease in the skillet.
• Drain potatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder and toss to coat.
• Add potatoes to the bacon grease and cook over medium-low hear, stirring occasionally to make sure they aren't burning, until nicely browned with crispy edges and soft insides, 30 to 35 minutes. Cover the pan as needed to speed up the process.
• Remove potatoes from the pan. Drizzle with ranch dressing and garnish with bacon crumbles.

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.

BACON FAT-FRIED POTATO PEELS

Steps:

• Sandwich the potato peels in an even layer between paper towels. Press down to blot and remove any excess moisture from them.
• Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of a large, wide pot. Fill with about 2 inches of oil and add the bacon fat. Heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Fry handfuls of the potato peels at a time, stirring them around with a slotted spoon to keep them from sticking to each other and to help them brown more evenly, until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer them with the slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt right away (you have 10 seconds!). Repeat with the remaining potato peels. Serve hot with ketchup, mayonnaise or equal parts mixed together for dipping.
