Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I found this was a great twist on roasted potatoes. I often serve this with my vermouth chicken. I hope you enjoy this recipe. For those of you who have never used salted pork, it can be found in your grocery store in the meat section. It comes in little 4" blocks and tends to have a lot of fat, so pick out the one that has the most meat. Make sure when cutting it up that you discard most of the fat. You do want to keep some of the fat as this adds a lot of flavor.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These oven roasted potatoes are scrumptious. Easy to make, once roasted they're crispy and a lovely golden brown color. We love adding salt pork, garlic, and fresh rosemary for a nice punch of flavor. Very versatile, they can be served as a side dish for an easy grilled steak, baked chicken, roasted turkey, or prime rib.
