Ingredients

1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
½ pound bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, or more to taste
6 dashes liquid smoke flavoring, or to taste
4 red potatoes, quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 Red Delicious apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
¼ cup water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Combine red wine vinegar and brown sugar in a saucepan; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bacon until crisp, adding 3 dashes liquid smoke while cooking, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain bacon grease.
Place potatoes, skin-side down, in a baking dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.
Mix apples and bacon into vinegar-brown sugar mixture; bring to a boil. Add garlic, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in the hot oil; cook for 7 minutes. Flip chicken;add water and a few shakes liquid smoke. Cover skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Place chicken on a serving plate and top with apple mixture. Arrange potatoes alongside chicken.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

450g potatoes (about 2 large)
6 juniper berries
2 large apples
30g (2 tablespoons) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 rashers smoked back bacon
A small handful parsley, chopped
150ml (2/3 cup) crème fraîche
1-2 teaspoons grain mustard

Steps:

Put a pan of water on to boil. Scrub the potatoes and cut them into large pieces, drop them into the boiling water and cook for ten minutes, then drain. Roughly crush the juniper berries. Cut the apples into quarters and remove the cores.
Warm the butter in a shallow pan with the olive oil, then add the crushed juniper berries, apples and drained potatoes. Keep the heat low to moderate and the pan partially covered with a lid. Baste from time to time. As the apples and potatoes edge towards tenderness, add the back bacon to the pan and let it cook in the appley butter. Season with salt, coarsely ground black pepper and half the chopped parsley.
When the potatoes are golden and the apples soft, remove everything from the pan on to warm plates. Tip away any fat, but not any delicious crusty bits stuck to the pan, then spoon in the crème fraîche and mustard. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then spoon over the bacon and apples.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes. Golden potatoes or red potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the potatoes, bacon, and apples, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to prevent the food from sticking.
Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Crispy bacon adds a delicious flavor and texture to this dish.
Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help to prevent the apples from browning.
Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately, while the potatoes are still hot and crispy.

This recipe for potatoes, apples, and bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
