Best 4 Bacon Onion Foil Wrapped Baked Homefries Recipes

DAD'S KENTUCKY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Heat the bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and onion, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

BACON-WRAPPED BAKED ONIONS

Steps:

• Cook the onions in boiling water until tender, but not falling apart (about 25 minutes).
• Remove from pot with a slotted spoon and cool.
• When cool enough to handle, cut off about an inch off of top of onions with a very sharp knife, and finely chop the tops.
• Trim the root end of the onions slightly, just enough so they can stand straight.
• Scoop out about a heaping tablespoon from the center of each onion (make certain to keep the inside intact) and finely chop the center, adding to the rest of the chopped onions.
• Transfer the hollowed onions to an oiled baking dish (I use an 11x7-inch for 8 onions, if you are only making 4 onions, then use an 8x8-inch).
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• In a skillet over medium heat, saute the chopped onions for about 3 minutes in oil.
• Stir in whipping cream and remove from heat.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
• Fill the whole onions with some of the sauted onion and Parmesan mixture, then spoon the remainder of the mixture around the onions in the baking dish.
• Wrap a piece of pancetta or a bacon slice around the middle of each onion and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake the onions for about 40-50 minutes (depending on the size of your onions).

BAKED FOIL WRAPPED MARINATED RED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make 4 slices across each red onion within a 1/2 inch of cutting through them. Into these incisions, place 1 piece of bacon and 1 slice of garlic. Place each onion in the center of a piece of foil. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the thyme, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Spoon over each onion. Bring the corners of the foil up over the onion and twist into a tight package. Place on a sheet tray and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing foil. To serve, heat by fanning on a hot well-oiled grill or in the oven. Serve with a smile.

QUICK & CRISPY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• As potatoes brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium. Serve topped with chopped chives.
