Roast potatoes with bacon & alfalfa is a delicious and simple dish that combines the crispiness of roasted potatoes with the savory flavor of bacon and the fresh touch of alfalfa sprouts, topped with creamy avocado. This recipe is perfect for a hearty meal that is both satisfying and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a kitchen towel.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks (around 1 to 1.5 inches).
- Place the potato chunks in a large bowl and toss them with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- While the oven is preheating, cook the bacon strips in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess fat and cool down. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Place the seasoned potato chunks on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- While the potatoes are roasting, halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and cut it into small cubes.
- Once the potatoes are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, crumbled bacon, and avocado cubes.
- Toss everything gently to combine. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a serving platter.
- Garnish with a handful of alfalfa sprouts if desired for a fresh, crunchy contrast. If you want use herbs instead of alfalfa sprouts!
Tips:
- For extra crispy potatoes, make sure to parboil them before roasting.
- Arrange the bacon strips on a separate baking sheet to allow them to cook evenly and become crispy.
- Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Add the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
- Feel free to sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra layer of flavor.
Enjoy your perfectly roasted potatoes with bacon & alfalfa, topped with creamy avocado. This dish is a crowd-pleaser and can be served as a main course or a tasty side dish. The combination of textures and flavors makes it a delightful treat that everyone will love.
