Spring is finally here! Finally! Hopefully it is here to stay. We have one more comfort food recipe to share before we are ready to move on to summer recipes! Comfort food is definitely the best thing about cold weather. Really, it is the only good thing. I can’t think of one other thing. Maybe sitting in front of a roaring fireplace? Although we did not light any of our fireplaces even one time this winter. So, comfort food it is. Endless bowls of chili, soup, and macaroni and cheese.
We saw this recipe posted just before St. Patrick’s Day and decided we needed to make it. Spring weather or not. I am always looking for a new way to eat potatoes. Potatoes layered in puff pastry? Topped with bacon? Sounds amazing, right? It was. I took the leftovers for lunch all week. It reheated great in my toaster oven. This would be a great addition to your brunch menu or just to gobble up on a cold, winter night!

Here is what you’ll need

Crisp up the bacon

Add in the potatoes

Add everything to the tart pan and bake

Comfort food is irresistible!
