Bacon Potato Hash

Ingredients:

001

1/2 lb bacon (or more to taste)

1 Tablespoon Butter

2 Shallots, diced

2 medium Russet Potatoes, peeled and cut in half lengthwise

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Kosher salt and Cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cook about 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound of bacon and reserve about 2 Tablespoons of bacon fat, remove off of the heat and set aside.

002

Mean while heat the potato halves in a large pot of room temperature water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes. Potatoes should still be a little firm and not mushy.

003

After the 10 minutes, drain into a colander and cool down with cold tap water.

006

Once cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2 in cubes

007

In a cast-iron skillet, reheat the bacon fat with 1 Tablespoon of butter between medium/medium-low heat. Saute the diced shallots for 5 minutes until soft.

004

Add the thyme, salt, pepper and potatoes.

009

Stir once and continue to cook the hash stirring occasionally for about 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked all the way through.

010

Lastly add the crumbled bacon pieces to potato hash, toss and serve.
