Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- Garlic: 1/3 cup, finely minced
- Potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and cut into thin strips
- Bacon: 4 slices, chopped
- Frankfurters: 1/2 pound, sliced
- Manchego Cheese: 150 grams, grated
- Catsup: 150 grams
- Mayonnaise: To taste
- Mustard: To taste
- Canned Jalapeño Juice: Optional, to taste
Instructions:
-
Sauté the Garlic: Begin by heating a generous splash of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant and golden brown. This should take about 1 minute.
-
Cook the Potatoes: Add the potato strips to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spread out. Fry them until they are lightly crisp and golden brown, which should take around 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, remove the potatoes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
-
Fry the Frankfurters and Bacon: In the same skillet with the remaining oil, add the chopped bacon and sliced frankfurters. Cook them together, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the frankfurters are browned, about 3-4 minutes. The flavors from the bacon and frankfurters will meld beautifully with the remaining oil, creating a savory base.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the bacon and frankfurters are cooked, return the crispy potato strips to the skillet. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients, allowing the potatoes to absorb some of the flavors from the bacon and frankfurters.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated manchego cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and become gooey. Alternatively, you can place the skillet under a broiler for a few minutes to achieve a golden and bubbly cheese topping.
-
Serve and Garnish: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Cheesy Frank-Potato-Bacon Fry hot, and let everyone customize their servings with a squirt of catsup, mayonnaise, mustard, or even a splash of canned jalapeño juice for an extra kick.
Enjoy this indulgent dish that combines crispy, cheesy, and savory elements into a delightful one-dish meal perfect for any occasion!
