Yep, there’s much more to do with leftover cooked potatoes than just a cold potato salad. And buttery pan fried potatoes or potato hash. Look at this beauty!
I was brainstorming about a simple recipe to make with my leftover potatoes.
Comfort Food
And since it was quite rainy and gloomy outside, I was craving a good plate of hot comfort food, something with bacon that usually means. So I chopped the potatoes up, added bacon, some chopped garlic, a good dash of pepper and salt.
Oh and why not add a little beer to it as well?
Potatoes, bacon, beer.
Yummy ingredients. Pop the whole lot in the oven and let’s see what comes out of it.
Roast Potatoes Recipe with Bacon & Beer
Well what can I say?
In the end this roast potatoes recipe with beer and bacon is absolutely delish.
This dish honestly didn’t even taste like a bunch of leftovers because that’s what the splash of beer and the handful of diced bacon were as well. I also loved the color on those roasted potatoes and their crunch.
Do you want to give the potatoes even more crunch?
Then just place them under a hot grill for a couple of minutes right before serving.
Leftover Cooked Potatoes
You can of course prepare this beer roast potatoes recipe with freshly cooked potatoes. I don’t know about you but I think that boiled potatoes that have chilled in the fridge overnight are extra crunchy when you roast them afterwards.
Yes, I have to admit that I sometimes boil an extra portion of potatoes while I am preparing dinner. Just so that I can make this recipe the day after!
