Masterpiece Barbecue Honey Gold Potatoes with Bacon Salt

One of the rewards for being a Foodbuzz featured publisher is being a taste tester. We get the awesome opportunity to taste products and review them. So I give a BIG thank-you to Foodbuzz and K.C. Masterpiece Barbecue Sauce.

I wanted to showcase the sauce so that the tangy cider vinegar and the heat of red and black pepper was savoured with every bite. Using Honey Gold Potatoes gave me the perfect opportunity to create something delicious. Don't you just love the variety of potatoes that's available?  The colors and unique flavors turn a weekday meal into something fantastic. I kicked my potatoes up a couple of notches with the addition of  K.C. Masterpiece Barbecue Southern Style Sauce.  And then I seasoned them with Bacon Salt. Oh yeah..... these bad boys will make any male week in the knees. That's the way I like my men..... graveling at my feet.

Ingredients:
potatoes, sliced
onion, sliced
K.C. Masterpiece Barbecue Sauce
Bacon Salt (recipe follows)

Directions:
1. I sprayed four individual ramekins with cooking spray.

2. In a skillet I sauted the onions with 1 tablespoon of butter until brown and tender.

3. In a bowl I sliced enough potatoes to fit into the ramekins. I then added 1/4 cup K.C. Masterpiece Barbecue Sauce and a liberal sprinkling of the bacon salt. I figured using my fingers to mix the potatoes and barbecue sauce would insure they all were covered.

4. Next, using half the potatoes, I layered them in the ramekins. Then a layer of the fried onions. I finished with another layer of potatoes. Into a 350 degree oven they went for about 30 minutes.

5. I inverted them on my plate for the presentation.  

Bacon Salt recipe from Lifehacker.

Food blog, The Wannabe Chef gives a simple recipe originally published in The Food Network Magazine: bake 6 slices of bacon until they begin to blacken, then remove the bacon from the oven, wipe off excess grease with a paper towel, and allow the bacon to cool. Then place it inside a food processor and process until only small bits are left. Add ½ cup of sea salt and ¾ tsp ground pepper (whole peppercorns won't break up in a food processor) and process until thoroughly mixed. Put your bacon salt in an airtight jar and keep in the fridge.
