ADAPTED FROM BLACKBERRY FARM
July 2007
This recipe alone is reason enough to grab your tote bag and head to the farmers market. Blackberry Farm dresses up the dish with parmesan foam and a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar, but the ingredients stand on their own beautifully. Slip a fried egg on top, and you have an easy summer supper.
- 1 lb bacon (4 slices), chopped
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch dice (1 1/2 cups)
