Ingredients

• 3 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 2 medium Honeycrisp apples
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Bourbon
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon (divided) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and dice them into small 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, dice the bacon into small pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

Step 3

Core the apples and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes (leave the peel on for extra texture). Thinly slice the onion. Set both aside.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet with the bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the drained potatoes in a single layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes develop a golden-brown crust. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the apples, cinnamon, and thyme, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the apples start to caramelize.

Step 6

Pour the bourbon into the skillet and stir, allowing the alcohol to cook off (about 1 minute). Add the maple syrup and cook for another minute, coating the apples and onions in the sweet glaze.

Step 7

Return the potatoes to the skillet along with the cooked bacon. Stir everything together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to combine and heat through. Adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the final tablespoon of butter for added richness. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Maple Bourbon Apple Hash as a standalone dish or alongside eggs and toast for a complete meal.
