Meat Lite: Oven Roasted Potato Wedges With Bacon Grease Recipe
- 1 pound red bliss or new potatoes
- 2 slices thick-cut bacon (Something from a gourmet market, mail order, or a farmers' market)
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
- Preheat your oven to 450u0b0F. (Do you have a convection function? Now is the time to crank it up.) Wash the potatoes, then place them on a rimmed baking sheet and put them in the oven for three minutes to dry completely. (Dry things brown better, as do things cooked on pre-heated baking sheets.) Remove potatoes and return baking sheet to your still-heating oven. Cut the potatoes into uniform wedges-six or eight wedges per potato depending on their size.
- Toss the potato wedges with the bacon fat and a liberal sprinkle of salt and pepper. When the oven is properly preheated, remove the hot baking sheet and lay the potatoes on it in one layer, cut side down.
- Roast for 20 minutes or until well browned. Toss with chives while hot. Serve with ketchup or mayonnaise.
