pancetta home fries

We had a bit of a love-fest with pancetta this weekend.  Joe came home from the grocery store this Friday afternoon with four thick slices of the king of all pork products…  Maybe that’s a little overkill for two adults to work through in a weekend, but where there’s a will there’s a way.  We crunched up pieces of the first slice and put it on our mushroom and shallot pizza for Friday’s main event.  Saturday was steak night, so we used the second slice for this perfect steakhouse worthy side.    I had some leftover potatoes and a request for homefries on Sunday morning, so after some careful research, I whipped up a batch of today’s featured recipe, pancetta home fries.  Read more »

Co-workers 1 – Wife 0.  I really need to step up my game in life. Read more »
