Pommes De Terre Au Lard Or Speckkartoffeln Bacon Potatoes

This recipe is popular in the canton (region) of vaud, which is located in romandy, the french-speaking southwestern part of switzerland. They are rustic and delicious! I modified the recipe because the original called for lard and i didn't see any reason to waste good bacon fat! also, they want you to boil your potatoes whole, cool, then peel and dice them but i couldn't really see why you need to take the extra steps. Enjoy!!

Steps

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add potatoes and bacon , stirring frequently until potatoes are golden yellow and cooked through , about 20 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

Finally , remove the potatoes and bacon from the pan.

Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up some of the fat.

These beautiful country potatoes go well with sausages and sauerkraut.
