Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 3 medium golden potatoes, skin on
- 2 pieces bacon
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil, plus more if needed
Seasonings:
- 1–2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) pure maple syrup
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Old Bay seasoning to taste
Garnish:
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Chill bacon in freezer for precise, effortless dicing. Cut potatoes into uniform cubes, submerge in cold water to prevent oxidation.
- Warm oil in expansive skillet at medium-high temperature. Thoroughly drain potato cubes, transfer to hot pan. Generously season with salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring consistently to ensure even golden-brown coloration.
- Incorporate crisp bacon fragments into potato mixture. Continue cooking 5-6 minutes, allowing bacon fat to enhance potato texture and create additional crispiness.
- Lower heat to medium-low. Introduce minced garlic and fresh parsley, stirring until aromatic – approximately 45-60 seconds.
- Delicately drizzle pure maple syrup across potato mixture, allowing brief caramelization for approximately one minute. Transfer immediately to serving plate, optionally crowning with sunny side up egg for complementary richness.
Notes
- Freezing bacon makes slicing a breeze, ensuring clean and uniform pieces without struggling with slippery meat.
- Soaking diced potatoes prevents oxidation, keeping them fresh and maintaining their appetizing white color before cooking.
- Using a cast-iron skillet provides better heat distribution and creates a crispier potato exterior with a golden-brown crust.
- Adjusting spice levels by swapping Old Bay with smoked paprika or cayenne pepper allows customization for different taste preferences.
