🥔 Potatoes Boulangere with Bacon

A classic French side dish where tender potatoes and onions are baked with crispy bacon and gently simmered in chicken stock.
Seasoned with fresh thyme, this dish delivers rich, comforting flavors perfect for family meals or Sunday lunches.

Ingredients

• 6 thick slices of bacon, cut into small strips
• 1 pound petite gold potatoes, peeled and quartered (or halved if small)
• ½ large onion, very thinly sliced
• 1½ cups chicken stock, plus more if needed
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

1. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
2. Add the onion to the same skillet and cook until soft, translucent, and lightly golden.
3. Add the potatoes and fry until they begin to brown. Stir in the bacon and thyme.
4. Pour over chicken stock until it barely covers the potatoes. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer until the potatoes are tender and glazed (about 15 minutes).
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
