Instructions:
-
Cook Bacon: Begin by cooking the bacon over moderate heat until it turns crisp. Once done, transfer it to paper towels using a slotted spoon to drain excess grease.
-
-
Reserve Drippings: Remember to reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings for later use in the recipe.
-
Prepare Potatoes: Utilizing the remaining drippings in the pan, cook the potatoes over medium heat until they become tender and acquire a golden hue. Once cooked, transfer them to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
-
Prepare Dressing: While the potatoes are cooking, it’s time to prepare the dressing. Combine minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and a dash of fresh ground pepper in a bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a harmonious dressing.
-
Fry Eggs: In the reserved bacon drippings, fry the eggs over low heat until they reach your desired level of doneness, ensuring the yolks remain slightly runny for that perfect finishing touch.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy bacon, golden potatoes, arugula, and green leaf lettuce. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Serve: Divide the salad evenly between four serving plates. Top each portion with two of the freshly fried eggs, adding a delightful protein-rich component to this already tantalizing dish.
