Smothered Potatoes
Smothered potatoes are a must try dish that features tender potatoes with bacon and onion slowly simmered down into a creamy, gravy-like sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pound russet potatoes, peeled & sliced
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken stock or water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- salt to taste
Instructions
- First, peel and slice the potatoes like scallops. Do not make the cuts super thick. Also, chop up the bacon and slice the onion as well.
- You'll need a pot or pan with a lid. Now, in that pan add the bacon and cook the bacon all the way through on a medium high heat but not too hot. Remove the bacon and all the bacon fat you want to use it.
- Next, add in the sliced onion and potatoes. Sear both ingredients until they start to wither. Then, lower the heat to low.
- Now, add in all your seasonings and toss the bacon back in. Pour in the water and cover the lid.
- Cook the the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes on that low heat and occasionally come back to give them a stir. The water will mix with the potatoes and thicken everything from the natural starches.
- Once the potatoes are tender the recipe is done. Allow to cool a bit then taste for salt before serving.
