Ingredients

  • 1 Pound potato
  • 1 onion sliced

  • 2 Tablespoons butter

  • Pinch Black Pepper Ground to taste
  • parsley fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. I recommend using boiled leftover potatoes if possible. If you don't have that, boil a batch of potatoes. Peel your potatoes.
  2. Cut your potatoes into thick slices. We need thick slices to fry them, or it will get messy.
  3. Slice onion, chop garlic, cut bacon slices into small pieces (or use small bacon pieces).
  4. Keep your skillet over a medium heat setting and melt your butter.
  5. Stir in the onion slices and sauté them soft.
  6. Continue to add in the bacon slices and cook over a medium heat setting until they change color, and they look semi-done.
  7. Stir and mix in garlic. Then season with salt and black pepper and stir, cook for a minute.
  8. Place in the potato slices. Arrange them in the pan so that they all fit.
  9. Cook the potatoes on all sides on medium heat until crisp and done. This can take a while and the longer you fry them, the crispier they turn out.
  10. Garnish your Bratkartoffel with fresh parsley and serve warm on its own or as a side dish with Schnitzel and Sauerbraten.

Notes

  • Use cooked leftover potatoes to prepare this dish within 20 minutes. It will save you time and you don't waste food.
