Ingredients
- 2 strips bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 fingerling potatoes (about 1/2 pound), sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 (1 pound) bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 lemon, zested
Instructions
- In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the butter to the remaining bacon fat and add the potato slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute until crisp on one side, and then toss and cook on the other side until crispy. Add the onions, garlic, scallions and asparagus. Season again gently with salt. Continuously toss until the asparagus are bright green and tender, but still crunchy, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the lemon juice and zest over top. Toss in the reserved bacon and serve warm.

Reviews
Great dish, I couldn’t find any fingerling potatoes so I used red potatoes. Didn’t care for the lemony taste but other than that, it was very good.
What a great side! Everyone enjoyed it! I ended up roasting the potatoes and asparagus with olive oil to cut some of the bacon fat out, but once everything was tossed together it was not missed.
Great side dish! I didn’t have fingerlings and used red potatoes instead. I also omitted the lemon juice & zest. My family doesn’t like lemon with veggies. It was a hit!
This recipe is absolutely delicious and comes together easily. It is especially good when served with Sunny’s Sweet Glazed Butterflied Chicken.
The lemon juice in this recipe lends everything a very nice flavor, however, next time I fix it, I will omit the lemon zest. In general, I like lemon zest, but did not like it in this particular dish. Excellent recipe and will certainly prepare it again.

OMG- Sunny you go girl. This was a teriffic dish. I roasted some small tomatoes with salt, pepper and EVOO and add them. Also, I did not have any asparagus so I used whole green beans. The flavors in this recipe was great thanks.
Great flavors! Easy recipe that came together quickly. Will definately use this recipe again. I have tried several of Sunny’s recipes and have not been disappointed. We are going to use the leftovers with eggs in the morning. I think it would be good in an omlette. YUM!
Delicious! Can’t wait to make this recipe again. First time using fingerlings.
Unbelievably good!
I made the potatoes as a side dish and it was delicious. It also makes a great side dish for breakfast with scrambled eggs.
I made this tonight, and it was delicious. I don’t eat pork, so I sauteed the potatoes in butter and olive oil. I cut the potatoes with a lot of time before I made the dish, so I sprinkled them with the juice from the other half of the lemon to keep them from browning. I will DEFINITELY make this again and again!
