Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1-1/2 lbs baby potatoes (quartered)
  • 4 strips bacon (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 ounces blue cheese (crumbled (see notes))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F
  • Heat a heavy, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Fry until crisp, drain on paper towels and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
  • Add the olive oil to the pan along with the potatoes and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute longer. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the pan in the oven and roast until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring midway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
  • Remove from the oven, add the bacon and adjust the seasoning as needed. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the blue cheese and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
