Serves4
Ingredients
- 24 oz. Tasteful Selections® potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. smoked paprika
- ½ tsp. oregano
- 1 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
- 1 tbsp. fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon. Leave about 1 tbsp of the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add olive oil and butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Once melted, add the potatoes, cut side down. Let them sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Stir in garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and oregano. Toss the potatoes gently to coat them evenly with the seasonings. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Stir in chopped rosemary and crumbled bacon. Let the potatoes cook for another 2 minutes to absorb the flavors. Garnish with parsley & serve!
Notes
Swap smoked paprika for cayenne if you like a bit of spice.
Try adding Parmesan cheese at the end for extra richness.
For a tangy twist, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze before serving.
Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before sautéing to speed up the cooking process.
You can also roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes instead of using a skillet.
