How to Make Fingerling Potatoes with Caramelized Onion and Bacon

Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel until cool, then crumble.

Remove all but 1-2 tsp of bacon grease from the pan. Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, once the pan is hot, add the onion slices. Sauté until caramelized, about 20 minutes, making sure to stir frequently.

While the onions are caramelizing, par-cook the fingerling potatoes in a pot of boiling water over high heat, for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove from water and let cool.

Once the onions are caramelized add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 60 seconds, stirring constantly, remove from the skillet and set aside.

Slice the fingerling potatoes in half lengthwise. Add the last 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat, once hot, add the fingerling potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes then flip, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Add the bacon crumbles, onions, and garlic to the pan to reheat.

Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy.
