Red and Blue Bacon Potatoes
We took the ‘Class Bear‘ to the Farmer’s Market and I told the kids to pick out what they wanted and I’d make it for dinner.
The Kid chose a blue potato. The Baby chose a red potato. ~sigh~ Sometimes I feel like I’m on a candid camera episode of Iron Chef. Here’s what I came up with.
ingredients:
5 strips of bacon
3 blue potatoes
3 red potatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
salt
pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook until crispy. Drain and set aside.
Wash and cut the potatoes into small chunks about 1″ in size.
In a medium sized bowl toss the potatoes in the garlic and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Pour the potatoes evenly into a baking dish greased or lined with non-stick foil. Bake for 40 minutes.
Test with a fork to make sure the potatoes are soft, them out of the oven and sprinkle with the crispy bacon pieces and serve. I mean really. What doesn’t taste better with bacon? Who knows what the kids will pick for my next Iron Chef: Farmer’s Market task…
