Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb of beef liver, sliced
- 8 slices of bacon
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook 8 slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the beef liver slices in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Add the dredged liver slices to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the liver from the skillet and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring 4 large peeled and cubed potatoes to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes with 1/2 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, place a scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate, top with the cooked liver slices, crispy bacon, and caramelized onions. Enjoy!
