How to Make Beer Bacon Onion Braised New Potatoes

  2. Add onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add potatoes, beer, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the cooked bacon and parsley just before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
