Farmer’s Market Potato Hash

Last week I made a trip to a new-to-me farmer’s market that was opening for it’s first week of the season. I wasn’t sure what to expect since it’s a smaller market, so I tried not to get too excited…but to my delight, I came home with two bags stuffed full of goodies.

First up, my absolute favorite peaches. It was their first pick of the season and I immediately grabbed a bag.

At the next stall there were some beautiful green onions. Since I was fresh out at home, I snagged a bundle:

Finally, I picked out some sweet corn and tomatoes…then I hit the road. My mind was racing the whole way home about what I could make with all of these delicious goodies.

Here’s what I did:

I washed the potatoes, then halved or quartered them depending on their size. I put them on a pan with a couple strips of turkey bacon. (You could definitely pick up some great bacon at the Farmer’s Market, but I happened to have some at home already from last week!). Turkey bacon doesn’t produce a lot of grease, but it does make some, and I knew the potatoes would be delicious if they took a little tumble in some of that grease after the bacon was done cooking 🙂

Next I chopped the green onions and set them aside:

Next up, corn. I love grilling corn in the summer to give it a deeper flavor so I prepped three of the ears for the grill by pulling the husks back carefully and removing as much silk as possible. Then I grilled them for about 10 minutes, turning often.

 Once the corn had cooled enough, I sliced it off the cob and into a big bowl. I chopped up the bacon and added it to the bowl, along with some black beans that I defrosted from the freezer and the green onions. When the potatoes finished roasting, I added them as well.

If you want, you can add a little of your favorite Parmesan-type cheese. Stir to combine and serve while still warm.

We ate ours for dinner with some BBQ Babyback Ribs, and then enjoyed the leftovers for breakfast!

For dessert, I suggest you throw some of those peaches on the grill. Top with ice cream or yogurt and enjoy 🙂

    I love Farmers Markets! Your finds and that recipe look delicious! I just had some peaches over the weekend and eat them like apples — they were literally the best peaches ever! I can’t wait to grill some peaches like you though!

    If you soak the corn in water for a bit, you don’t need to reove the silk beofre grilling. It comes off easily when peeled.

    If you soak the corn for a bit you will not need to remove the silks before grilling. They will come off nicely when the husk is peeled.
