Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s begin by preparing the ingredients for this delightful bacon and potato stir-fry.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and julienne them thinly using a mandoline or by hand. Gently rinse the julienned potatoes under cold running water to remove excess starch, then drain them thoroughly. This step is crucial for achieving a non-sticky, fluffy texture when stir-frying.
Step 3
Slice the onion as thinly as possible, similar in thickness to the julienned potatoes. Thinly sliced onions will blend well with the potatoes and add a pleasant sweetness when cooked.
Step 4
Cut the bacon into approximately 1cm thick pieces. Cutting them too thin might cause them to break apart during cooking, so aim for a moderate thickness.
Step 5
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium heat. Add the julienned potatoes and stir-fry, making sure to stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 6
Once the potato strips begin to turn translucent, add the thinly sliced onion to the pan and continue to stir-fry.
Step 7
When the onions become translucent, add the sliced bacon and stir-fry everything together until well combined. The rendered bacon fat will add a rich, savory flavor to the potatoes.
Step 8
Finally, reduce the heat to low. Add a pinch of salt to season the dish. (Be mindful of the bacon’s saltiness and adjust accordingly.)
Step 9
Add a dash of pepper for extra flavor, if desired. Taste and adjust the seasoning carefully.
Step 10
Give everything a final quick toss to combine, then turn off the heat. Your delicious bacon and potato stir-fry is ready to be enjoyed with a warm bowl of rice!
