SLICED BAKED POTATO WITH BACON RECIPES

Steps:

• Fry bacon until crisp, remove from pan to drain but save drippings.
• Thinly slice washed potatoes, leaving skin on.
• Thinly slice onion.
• Crumble cooled bacon.
• Using the bacon drippings, grease a wide and flat (not deep) casserole or pan (such as a cake pan). (You can also use a large fry pan that can also be used in the oven to crisp bacon and add other ingredient to cut down on mess).
• Layer sliced potatoes, sliced onion and crumbled bacon into pan.
• Add dabs of butter or margarine and salt and pepper.
• Cover tightly with foil.
• Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes until tender.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon salt, and reduce to a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a knife. Do not overcook. Drain, cool, and transfer to a bowl.
• While the potatoes cook, combine the vinegar, sugar, and remaining salt in a small saucepan and place over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Drizzle over the potatoes, and gently toss to coat.
• Saute bacon in a large skillet placed over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until browned and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Drain excess fat from skillet, leaving a thin coat of bacon grease in skillet.
• Saute onions in skillet with the reserved bacon grease until translucent but not browned. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by half; about 20 minutes. Pour the broth mixture over the potatoes, and sprinkle with the bacon and chopped parsley. Gently stir, and serve immediately.
