- 1.5 lbs New Potatoes Washed and diced
- 3 tablespoon Butter Unsalted
- 3 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Onion Diced
- 1 Shallot Sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic Minced
- 2 sprigs Rosemary 1 minced, 1 whole
- 5 slices Bacon Cooked and sliced
- ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 pinch Pepper
Heat a heavy bottom skillet over high heat. Add in the butter and olive oil. When the cooking fats are hot, add in the cubed potatoes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
Add in the onion, chopped rosemary, red pepper flakes and another pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for 5-7 more minutes. When the onions are caramelized you're ready to move onto the next step.
Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add in 1 tablespoon Olive Oil if the pan is looking dry. Add in shallots and garlic. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring more consistently.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add in the cooked bacon and whole rosemary sprig. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through. Should be between 8-10 minutes. When they are cooked through, add in the balsamic vinegar. Stir well, serve hot and enjoy!
You can really play with this recipe. Add in some fresh thyme or tarragon toward the end of the cooking if you really want to amp up the flavors. Another idea is to add in crumbled breakfast or Italian sausage instead of the bacon.
Keep in mind that baking potatoes will not work for this recipe. They are too fluffy and will fall apart, making a watery mess.
I cubed my potatoes to about 1 cm x 1 cm. If you have larger cubes, plan on the recipe taking longer. If your potatoes are larger, you might want to cover the pan during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
