Pan-Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes With Bacon
Potatoes are a staple in the pantry because of their long shelf life and simplicity, but these pan-roasted babies are something new you can bring to the table. They pair especially well with garlic and bacon (then again, what doesn’t?), while the chives and parmesan add a touch of freshness and life to the dish.

Step 1
Wash potatoes and set them in a pot of cold water on the stove. Bring the pot to a boil, and then let the potatoes cook for about 30 minutes, or until you can pierce them easily with a fork.

Step 2
Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook in a pan until crisp (3-5 minutes). Remove and set aside on a paper towel to absorb any excess fat.

Step 3
In the same pan with the bacon grease, add the cooked potatoes and fry for 5-10 minutes until they start to brown. Add in garlic, salt, and pepper and continue to fry until garlic is cooked (1-2 minutes).
#SpoonTip: Cut the potatoes in half before cooking them in the pan to get more flavor out of each piece (For the science majors: increased surface area to volume ratio).

Step 4
Remove pan from heat and add the bacon, parmesan, chives, and butter. Toss the potatoes in the hot pan until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Plate your dish with a sprinkle of chives for extra flavor.
