How to Make Bacon Potato Cheddar Tart
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the tart crust: In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes). Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ¼ cup ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, prepare the filling: Cook 1 lb bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Chop the bacon into small pieces.
- Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs potatoes. Sauté the potatoes in the reserved bacon grease until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and the chopped bacon. Mix well.
- Roll out the chilled dough and place it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess dough.
- Pour the potato and bacon mixture into the tart shell.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and heated through.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
