Ok, so my daughter is a potato LOVER - like she loves them ANY way - but this is her favorite. She absolutely just craves these really any day of the week but on Saturday morning its like a must. They are super simple, and the good news is if you make some eggs and brown up some sausage, when you mix all three together in a warmed tortilla with cheese you have a superior breakfast taco. You really don't need a lot of ingredients to pull this off; it makes a lot.
1 or 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes (really any potato, but I like Yukon Gold)
3 strips bacon, cut in 1/2 in dice
2 green onions, chopped
1 garlic clove
Salt, Pepper to taste
1/4 c white wine
2 TBLS olive oil
Cube up the potatoes, cube up the bacon, chop the onion and garlic clove. Heat a skillet to HI and add the oil and bacon. Cook until the bacon is getting crisp then add the potatoes, onion and garlic. Give a good dusting with salt and pepper then saute. When the bottom on the pan is covered with drippings to the point of almost burn, put in the white wine to deglaze the pan. Let it reduce for about 5-7 minutes, then drop the heat back and put a lid on it. Stir about every 2-3 minutes. If you have an electric stove, turn the heat off now and let it sit; if gas, let it cook for another 5 minutes then take it off the heat.
Makes enough for about 4 people or about 12 tacos if you combine it with the eggs and sausage as above.
You can add thyme, sage, cheese - any combo of ingredients really. The goal is to make an alternative to plain old hashbrowns.
Also, my most favorite place to eat is Big Daddy's Ship Store - they have a new blog and Chef Matt is one of the best...go check it out!
