Ingredients

  • 10 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 3 pounds baby potatoes
  • ¼ cup (60 g) broth, chicken or beef
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Bacon

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cook bacon for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Reserve the bacon fat.

Potatoes

  • In a large, oven-safe skillet, add the potatoes. (Can also use a 9x13 casserole dish.)
  • Pour ½ cup of the bacon fat over the cold potatoes, tossing to coat. (The potatoes will look 'waxy'.)
  • Pour the broth and butter over the potatoes.
  • Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes at 425°F, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. (If there is a big difference in sizes, some of the smaller potatoes may be done sooner. Keep an eye on them.)
  • Remove from the oven, and lightly stir the potatoes. Top with the cooked bacon pieces.
  • Return to the oven for 5 more minutes to reheat the bacon. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note: For larger potatoes, you can slice them in half. Cook time may vary if using larger potatoes.
