How to make Risolet Potatoes with Garlic and Bacon
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and peel the 6 potatoes, cutting them into uniform medium cubes of about 2 cm to ensure even cooking and final crunch in Risolet Potatoes with Garlic and Bacon. Place in pot with cold salted water, bring to high heat until boiling and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente – test with fork: they should slightly resist pressure, without falling apart.

- Drain and reserve: Turn off heat, drain cubes immediately in colander to remove excess water, avoiding mushiness. Let dry for 2 minutes in open air while preparing other items – this quick step prevents flavor dilution in final sauté.
- Fry bacon and garlic: In large non-stick skillet, melt margarine over medium heat for 1 minute. Add bacon cubes and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden and releasing smoky fat, enhancing aroma of Risolet Potatoes with Garlic and Bacon. Add chopped garlic, stirring for 30-45 seconds until fragrant and lightly golden, without burning to avoid bitterness.
- Sauté the potatoes: Add reserved potatoes to skillet with bacon and garlic, season with salt to taste. Increase to high heat and sauté with quick movements for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently with spatula until cubes are evenly golden and crispy outside, soft inside – steam from bacon perfectly infuses flavors.
- Finish and serve: Once golden, turn off heat, give final stir to distribute flavors and taste salt. Serve hot for 6 servings in 40 minutes total, as irresistible side for grilled meats or baked chicken.
