Bacon Parsley Hotcakes Recipes

ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON, CHEESE, AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lowest position.
• Generously cover potatoes with cold water in a 4-quart pot and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 12 minutes. Drain. Cool potatoes to warm, then peel and cut in half crosswise.
• Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until cooked through but still flexible. Drain on paper towels, reserving fat in skillet.
• Brush bottom of a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan with oil and half of reserved bacon fat. Sprinkle potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and arrange, cut sides down, in baking pan. Bake until undersides are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375ºF. Turn potatoes over, then sprinkle with cheese, bacon, and garlic and drizzle with remaining bacon fat (if fat congeals, reheat briefly over medium heat). Bake until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
• Cook's notes:
• • Potatoes can be boiled and peeled 1 day ahead and chilled in an airtight container.
• • Potatoes, without cheese, bacon, garlic, and bacon fat, can be baked 6 hours ahead and kept, loosely covered, at room temperature. Turn potatoes over and proceed with recipe, baking a little longer. If baking at same time as stuffing, leave oven temperature at 425°F.

SWEDISH OVEN PANCAKE WITH BACON

Steps:

• Snip bacon into bite-sized pieces and spread in 9" x 13" baking or oven proof dish. Place in pre-heated 180C/375F oven until bacon is slightly crispy but not dried out.
• Whilst the bacon is cooking, beat the eggs until frothy. Add salt, milk, and then the flour very gradually.
• Remove bacon from oven. Gently pour the egg mixture over the bacon.
• Return to oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up & golden.
• Serve immediately, whilst still puffed up.
• For a traditional way of serving, garnish with: lingonberry jam, sour cream and brown sugar, or maple syrup.
