Ingredients
- 5 ounces bacon (5 slices)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- Balsamic vinegar (1 dash, optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound potatoes (3 waxy potatoes, peeled and diced)
- 1 cup grated gruyere cheese (or other hard, white cheese, or 1 cup comte cheese, or other hard, white cheese)
- Salt and pepper
How to Make
-
Step 1: Fry the bacon and remove to paper towel to drain.
-
Step 2: Pour all but a tablespoon of the fat from the pan and add the butter to get hot.
-
Step 3: Fry the onion until soft and golden, adding the garlic for a minute or two at the end.
-
Step 4: Deglaze with a splash of balsamic vinegar, if you like. Remove all to a plate.
-
Step 5: Add the oil to the pan to get hot.
-
Step 6: Cook the potatoes, seasoned with salt and pepper, until soft inside when pierced with a fork, and very crisp and golden on the outside. This will take a good 20 minutes, without stirring too much or they won’t get brown.
-
Step 7: Return the onion, garlic, and bacon to the pan.
-
Step 8: Scatter the cheese over the top and leave the pan on the heat, covered, until the cheese has melted, about a minute.
-
Step 9: Serve with mixed salad greens.
