Cooking Up a Hooley in the Kitchen: Red, White, and Green Christmas Potatoes by Katie Gagne
There’s No Such Thing As Too Many Potatoes —
I always remind my husband it is a good thing he married an Irish woman who can cook potatoes forty different ways. These festive potatoes will not only satisfy those “meat & potato” lovers in your family, but they can be your new go-to dish to serve for family gatherings or bring to those parties this holiday season.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. Small Red Potatoes
2 lbs. Small White Potatoes
½ pound Thick Cut Bacon – cut into bite-sized pieces
½ medium Red Onion – sliced thin
4 cloves Garlic – peeled and chopped fine or minced
2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
2 tablespoons Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Dried Rosemary
2 tablespoons Course Sea Salt
3 tablespoons Butter – cut into small cubes
4 tablespoons Dried or Fresh Parsley
These are so versatile and can be made ahead of time and cooked and reheated. You can easily double the recipe for larger crowds. You can also customize them, eliminating the meat and dairy if needed or the onions for those who have particular tastes or dietary needs.
