Cowboy Potatoes
This
recipe is a takeoff of the old time Sheppard’s Pie, but no self respecting
Cowboy would ever eat something named after a sheep herder-So here it is Cowboy
Potatoes, could have named it something more like Sheppard’s Pie but somehow Cow
Pie just didn’t have the right ring to it.
4 - 6 Slices
of bacon
One
cup bacon bits
One
good sized onion sliced and chopped
A couple
2 or 3 pounds of taters (6 or 8 big ones)
One cup of frozen corn - more if you have a
taste for it
Salt
and Pepper to taste (I don’t like much salt as the bacon takes care of the need
for salt)
Paprika
to taste
Brown
up the bacon, but do not cook fully – save for the oven
Leave
the bacon grease in the skillet (you will need the big old black one today)
Fry
Potatoes and onions in bacon grease-when the potatoes have stated to soften
remove from burner and stir in frozen corn and the bacon bits.
Place
in oven for 20-25 minutes or until the corn is hot, soft, and yummy.
*If it
is warm enough to grill you can mix everything together, wrap in foil and put
on the upper rack of the grill. Let it cook while you are grilling; just
remember it needs some closed lid time to cook through.
You
can experiment with other stuff in this also- we add chopped carrots, pretty
good and if you like some color a little parsley sure looks fine.
Happy
Cookin’
*In no way does this fit any kind of heart friendly diet!
