A friend sent me this, an absolutely brilliant brunch dish especially if your double the quantity of lardons and serve with a fried egg for each person.

Bratkartoffeln - German Sautéed Potatoes Recipe

Recipe

Flavors of Germany
Total time: 1hr to 2hr
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Waiting time: Cook the potatoes the day before
Cooking time: 30 + 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
It's best to cook the potatoes a day before you wish to sauté them so that they will stay in nice cubes instead of breaking down into mashed potatoes.

Ingredients
- 2 to 2.5 kg (4-5 lb.) Potatos
- 250 ml (1 cup) Bacon bits (lardons) (bacon cut into small pieces)
- 250 ml (1 cup) yellow Onion, thinly sliced
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
- Parsley (optional)

Method
1. Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender but still firm - do not overcook;
2. let cool; peel and cut into cubes;
3. in a skillet, gently sauté the bacon pieces until they begin to brown; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside;
4. sauté the onions gently in the bacon fat until translucent; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside;
5. add the vegetable oil to the remaining bacon fat; heat over moderate heat;
6. add the potatoes and fry until golden brown and slightly crispy;
7. add the onions and bacon; season with salt and pepper; mix well and heat everything through.
