Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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
