How to Make Bacon And Asparagus Poutine Sp5

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, crumble, and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease; discard the rest.
  3. Toss 2 lbs. potato wedges with the reserved bacon grease. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While potatoes bake, steam 1 bunch asparagus until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Heat 1 cup of your favorite gravy in a small saucepan until hot.
  7. To assemble: Spread baked potato wedges on a serving platter. Top with the steamed asparagus, 1 cup cheese curds, hot gravy, and crumbled bacon.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
