Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Peel the potatoes, remove any eyes, and cut into 2cm cubes. Place them in a heatproof bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 4 minutes.

    Advice : They are ready when a bamboo skewer can easily pass through. You can prep other vegetables while microwaving for better efficiency.

    Microwaving potatoes 4 min
    Ingredients
    Potato 2 (300g)
  2. 2

    Thinly slice the onion and cut the bacon into 2cm wide pieces.

    Advice : Slicing with the grain keeps them crunchy, while slicing against the grain helps release sweetness more easily.

    Ingredients
    Onion 1/4 onion
    Bacon 4 slices
  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the bacon and onion. Cook until the onion is softened and the bacon starts releasing its fat.

    Advice : Sprinkling a tiny bit of salt (not from the main measurement) on the onions helps them release moisture and soften faster.

    Ingredients
    Olive oil 1 tbsp
    Bacon 4 slices
    Onion 1/4 onion
  4. 4

    Add the pre-cooked potatoes and sauté until the surface is golden brown and crispy.

    Advice : Don't move them around too much; let them sear against the pan to get that savory crust.

    Ingredients
    Potato 2 potatoes (pre-cooked)
  5. 5

    Sprinkle with granulated consommé, salt, and black pepper. Mix quickly so the flavors distribute evenly.

    Advice : Consommé burns easily, so the key is to toss it in quickly at the end. Adding some garlic at the end is also highly recommended!

    Ingredients
    Granulated consommé 1/2 tsp
    Salt A pinch
    Black pepper A pinch
