FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) POTATOES with BACON and Zucchini
How to make them crispy in the pan?
For a crispy dish, it is important to cut them into regular pieces, dry them well before cooking, and cook them in a large pan with little oil, without turning them too often. Uniform browning requires patience and a medium flame.
When to add zucchini to the pan to prevent them from falling apart?
Add the zucchini only in the last minutes of cooking. Being more delicate than potatoes, they need shorter times to remain firm and not become mushy.
What type of bacon to use?
You can use either sweet or smoked bacon, diced or in strips. The smoked version will give the dish a more robust flavor, while the sweet one is more delicate and balances well with the zucchini.
Can I prepare the potatoes with bacon and zucchini in advance?
Yes, this dish can be prepared in advance and reheated when needed. We recommend reheating it in a pan with a little oil to restore crispness, avoiding the microwave, which would make the potatoes soggy.
What can I serve them with?
This dish pairs well with meat-based main courses, eggs, or fresh cheeses. It can also be served alone, as a main dish for a quick and tasty dinner.
