Potato-Bacon Hash Recipe
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 1/2 pounds red bliss or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and cut into small chunks
- 1 bunch scallions, white and green parts (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- In a heavy skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the fat and return the pan to high heat.
- Add the potatoes, white scallions (if using), garlic, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil.
- Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the bacon, broken into pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes more.
- Remove from heat, garnish with the green scallions (if using), and serve.
