How to Make Bacon Butter Potatoes Oktoberfest Style
- **Prepare the Potatoes:** Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- **Steam the Potatoes:** Bring the beer to a boil in a 5-6 quart saucepan. Place potatoes in a steamer basket, set over the boiling beer, cover, and steam for 15 minutes, or until tender.
- **Cook the Bacon:** While the potatoes steam, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease. Set the bacon aside.
- **Sauté the Onions:** Add the butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until softened and starting to brown.
- **Combine & Season:** Add the cooked potatoes to a large bowl. In the skillet, add the reserved beer (¾ cup), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the cooked bacon, balsamic vinegar, and molasses. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- **Toss and Serve:** Pour the bacon and onion mixture over the potatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Serve hot or warm. Enjoy as a side dish with German sausages, coleslaw, and pickled beets!
