Ingredients
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 bunch scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch chunks, greens thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup coarsely crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and simmer until about halfway cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. (A knife shouldn’t pierce the chunks easily; there should still be a little resistance in the center.) Drain and pat the potatoes very dry.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, then remove to paper towels to drain.
- Increase the heat to medium high. Add the par-cooked potatoes to the skillet. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper, paprika and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the pepper just begins to wilt, about 3 minutes, adjusting the heat if the potatoes or peppers begin to burn. Add the scallion whites and cook until the potatoes are crisp and tender and everything is well browned, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Sprinkle with the cooked bacon, scallion greens and blue cheese. Toss and serve immediately.

I didnt even precook the potatoes…it was awesome
Beautiful I cannot wait to try it
Used pre cooked/diced potatoes and was amazing
This looked like it would be more flavorful than it was. I figured it might be salty with all the bacon but it actually needed salt. If I were to do it again I would buy the potatoes already diced and frozen. Would speed up the process. But I probably won’t be making this again.
