Description

This simple ramp recipe, with sliced potatoes pan-fried in drippings with chopped bacon, is a seasonal spring dish that's full of garlicky flavor.

Ingredients

5 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
6 ramps, thinly sliced
5 slices cooked bacon, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes start to soften, about 10 minutes; drain.
