Savory Dandelion Greens with Potatoes and Bacon

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Dandelion Greens with Potatoes and Bacon.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the cubed potatoes and cook them until they are tender yet still firm, which should take about 15 minutes. After cooking, drain the potatoes and toss them with butter, seasoning them with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Step 2

   In a deep skillet, add the diced bacon and cook it over medium-high heat until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels, but don’t discard the delicious bacon grease left in the pan.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the torn dandelion greens and diced onion, creating a fresh and vibrant base for your dish.

4. Step 4

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten egg, white vinegar, and sugar. Season this mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this egg mixture into the skillet with the warm bacon grease, stirring it in. Add the cooked bacon and flour, whisking everything together for about a minute until it thickens to a consistency similar to salad dressing.

5. Step 5

   Now, pour this warm dressing over the dandelion greens and onion mixture, tossing everything together to ensure the greens are well coated. Finally, serve the dressed greens over the buttery potatoes, creating a hearty and flavorful dish that’s sure to impress.
