Pommes De Terre Au Lard or Speckkartoffeln (Bacon Potatoes)
(3)
Recipe by Nif_H

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!

DIRECTIONS

  • 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 (Vaud sausage) and sauerkraut.
