Print Recipe
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 1 -2 large red or Vidialia onions
- 1 cup avocado or olive oil
- 4-5 big cloves garlic minced
- Kosher salt & black pepper
- 2 jalapenos
- 8 slices crispy bacon
- Wedge of Parmesan cheese
- Fresh Parsley
Combine oil, garlic, salt & pepper Season it to your liking) in a mason jar and allow it to "steep" for 30 minutes to an hour.
Microwave your scrubbed potatoes for 3-4 minutes to get them started
You want them to be partially cooked, not soft by any means, just not rock hard.
Allow them to cool and then slice into rounds, placing them on a baking sheet as you do.
Slice your onion(s) into halves, thick slices or chunks (all depends on your choice of potato, I used fingerling and red for mine) and do the same.
Brush both potatoes and onions with your garlic oil, and then sprinkle with some additional salt and pepper (you can add smokey Paprika as well if you like).
Get your potatoes started on the hot oiled grill and then and onions, turning once (with tongs or a spatula and (brushing with the oil before you turn) until done.
Remove potatoes and onions from grill, brush with more oil and assemble salad by adding in (layering or placing on a platter) the jalapenos, bacon Parmesan and parsley (don't be shy with those...go big!).
Drizzle the remaining oil over-top (as much as you might enjoy), sprinkle with seasoning and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
- Feel free to add red pepper flakes for more heat, extra bacon or crispy pancetta or prosciutto.
- You can change up the cheese used.
- Use a medley of colored potatoes to for an even prettier platter. Swap the jalapenos for poblanos or roasted peppers.
- Drizzle with a chili oil, caramelize the onions first. Change this up any way you can think of, it will work
