📝 Ingredients
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1 lb. small golden potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
- Salt, pepper and Old Bay seasoning as needed
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish
👨🍳 Instructions
- Cut the bacon slices into bite size pieces and set aside. This can be done easier with kitchen shears, and easiest if the bacon is kept in the freezer for a minimum of thirty minutes.
- Dice the potatoes into medium bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl filled with cold water to prevent browning.
- Drain and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Heat two counts of olive or avocado oil in a 10-12" skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Start with a few sprinkles of each, as you’ll add more throughout the recipe. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring the potatoes often, until brown. If needed add one more drizzle of oil.
- Add the bacon to the potatoes, toss, and cook for 4-5 minutes. The fat will render and further cook the potatoes. Stir often to prevent burning. Once the bacon is crisp, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the minced garlic and toss. Cook until fragrant and tender, less than two minutes.
- Drizzle over the maple syrup and toss. Let that cook another minute, being careful not to burn. Taste, add any seasonings if necessary, and garnish with chives, scallions, or parsley (optional).
