Rustic Potatoes with Bacon, Goat Cheese & Dried Cranberries
Serves: 4
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Ingredients
-
6 ounces Smithfield bacon
-
2 pounds red bliss potatoes
-
1/2 cup minced shallots
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
-
1/4 cup chicken stock
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries
-
3 tablespoons chopped chives
-
3 ounces herb goat cheese
-
Kosher salt to taste
Steps
Wash potatoes and cut them in half. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and fill the pan with enough water to cover them. Salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook 15-18 minutes, until tender when you stab them with a fork. Drain potatoes and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Set aside.
Cook the Smithfield bacon in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of rendered fat. Add shallots to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chicken stock, and dried cranberries to the pan. Cook 3-4 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the sliced potatoes to the pan along with the chives and salt to taste. Cook 2-3 minutes. Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and add most of it to the pan, leaving some for garnish. Toss to combine all ingredients well.
Place the potatoes on a serving platter and crumble the herb goat cheese on top. Garnish with chives and remaining bacon. Serve warm.
