Garlicky Roasted Potatoes with Wilted Greens & Bacon Gremolata
by Dishing Up the Dirt
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 35-40 minutes | Serves: 4
Ingredients
Bacon Gremolata
- 3 strips of good quality thick cut bacon
- 1/2 cup unsalted almonds
- 3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Roasted Potatoes
- 5 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons thyme, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons rosemary, chopped
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, (smallest ones left whole larger ones cut in half or quartered)
- pinch of fine sea salt and pepper
Wilted Greens
- 1 large bunch of mizuna (or another green such as arugula or spinach) about 6 cups worth
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Preparation
- Fry the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove from the heat and transfer to a paper towel lined plate reserving about 3 teaspoons of the bacon grease. When cool enough to handle chop into small pieces. Place the almonds in a small food processor and process until they are finely chopped, being careful not to over process into a nut butter–you want a little texture here. In a bowl toss the bacon, almonds, minced parsley and lemon zest together.
- Preheat the oven to 375F
- In a large bowl mix together the garlic, olive oil and fresh herbs. Stir in the potatoes and toss until evenly coated. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until lightly browned and tender, about 35-40 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking.
- Heat the 3 teaspoons of the reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Add the mizuna and cook, tossing often until the greens are slightly wilted and bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Divide the wilted greens between bowls. Stir in the roasted potatoes and top with the bacon gremolata. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
