Ingredients

  1. 4 thick-cut slices bacon, roughly chopped
  2. 2 (1/4-inch thick) slices pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  3. 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  4. 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  5. 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
  6. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
  7. 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and pancetta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon and pancetta are brown and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and pancetta pieces to paper towels to drain. Add the potatoes and garlic to the pan. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are golden and cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add the thyme, cooked bacon and cooked pancetta to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Transfer the potatoes to a large serving bowl and serve immediately.

Just looking at this recipe’s title, you know it is going to be amazing. What’s not to like?! Potatoes with both bacon and pancetta. YUMMY!!!!

Delicious! The pancetta really makes the recipe. I used yukon gold potatoes & left the skin on. Next time I will take the skin off as it burns easily. I halved the recipe, but I would not continue cooking for another five minutes at the end. The bacon & pancetta browned too much for me & was almost burnt. I will make sure to cut both of the times it is in the pan.

Great dish….Loved it very very much.

This side dish is great! I had my fair share of problems making it though. Ha. One, I don’t have nonstick cookware (too many concerns in my mind about them. Despite the grease from the bacon and pancetta, the potatoes did stick and by the end of the cook, I had a horrible charred mess on the bottom of the pan. I also forgot that I wasn’t supposed to add the potatoes to the bacon and pancetta. About 5 min later I remembered and had to get them all out, drain the bacon and pancetta, then continue cooking the potatoes. Anyway, this was easy and great and will definitely make again.

Tasty, great texture and easy to make. Just be sure to put the garlic in at the last minute or put it in the grease for a minute then take it out. Cooking it 20 mins will burn it.

My kids love this potato dish, and it’s so easy to make. Extra bacon is needed for bacon lovers!!
