Cacio e Pepe Potatoes with Bacon & Kale
recipe by Sidney Fry MS, RD | photography by Big Dreamz Creative
Move over smashed potatoes! There’s a new cheesy potato in town. Inspired by the punchy, peppery magic of Cacio e Pepe—the Italian pasta classic with sharp Pecorino Romano and cracked black pepper —this version reimagines the dish with golden, crisp- edged potatoes. It’s bold and grounding, with crispy pancetta for savory smokiness and crunchy kale for a healthy dose of color and earthiness. Every bite delivers the cheesy- creamy dish you know, but with a heartier, crisp-tender base that just wraps your belly in a warm blanket.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 (1.5-pound) bags mini potato medley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 ounces diced pancetta or bacon
- 2 cups chopped kale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 ounces grated Pecorino Romano cheese, divided
- 2-4 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Place potatoes in a heavy saucepan; cover with water. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; simmer 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain. Set aside to cool.
Preheat broiler to high. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Place on a large foil-covered baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; toss to coat. Broil 3-5 minutes or until potatoes are crisp.
While potatoes boil, cook pancetta in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined bowl. Add kale to drippings. Cook 3-5 minutes or until kale is wilted and slightly crisp. Remove kale from pan; add kale to pancetta.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Swirl to coat. Add 2 ounces of cheese and pepper, stirring to create a sauce. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce is creamy but not thin. Combine potatoes, kale and pancetta in a large bowl. Add sauce; toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 2 ounces of cheese.

Way cool, some valid points! I appreciate you making this article available, the rest of the site is also high quality. Have a fun.
I was just looking for this information for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Usually the top websites are full of garbage.
