ingredients
- 6 slice of bacon
- 1 pound potatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 chicken stock
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Method
Step 1
Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the bacon becomes crisp and golden brown. Using a slotted spoon transfer the bacon to a plate with a paper towel to drain all the fat out. Leave the pan over the open heat source.
Step 2
Add the onion to the hot pan and fry, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes, or until the onions are soft, translucent, and start to turn golden.
Step 3
Add the potatoes to the onions and fry, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until the potatoes start to become golden. Add the drained bacon and the fresh thyme. Stir to blend.
Step 4
Pour over the stock, it should barely cover the potatoes. Raise the heat to bring to a small boil. Lower the heat and maintain a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Cook stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes or until the stock has reduced and the potatoes are tender and glazed. Add more stock if need be.
Step 6
Taste and rectify the seasoning by adding more salt and pepper.
