Equipment
- 6-quart pot
- 12-inch frying pan
Ingredients
- 5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
- 12 oz bacon, (or salted cured pork)
- 1 onion, (diced)
- 4 oz unsalted butter, (1 stick)
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place potatoes into a large pot and fill half way with water. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork tender (10-20 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, cut the bacon into strips. Sauté the pork and onion in a large skillet with 1 Tbsp of butter over medium heat until browned (5-8 minutes.) Turn off the heat and add the remaining butter to melt. Set aside.
- Once the potatoes are tender; drain and add the bacon butter sauce with spices. Toss everything together to coat.
- Garnish with fresh dill and green onions. Serve with a side of sour cream. This dish keeps well ahead of time. Keep on low in pot or crock pot until serving.
Notes
- Potatoes: Use small Yukon Gold potatoes or young baby potatoes. Creamer baby potatoes will take up-to 10 minutes to boil. If, using bigger golden potatoes, cut in half before boiling.
- Skins: can be scraped off young potatoes or peeled off. Creamer baby potatoes don't need to be peeled. Trim potatoes where needed when leaving skins on and wash well.
- Pork: use bacon or any cured pork or ham.
