Directions
For a strong smoked taste, do not blanch the bacon; for a light taste,
blanch it 7 to 8 minutes in cold water.
Cut bacon into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut slices into 1/3- inch wide
lardoons, crosswise. Put into a cast-iron or enameled cast-iron pot and
render over medium-low heat until light golden. Remove lardoons to a plate;
drain off all fat in pan and replace it with the butter. Heat well, then
add flour and cook to a golden roux, 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in chicken
broth. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add lardoons, potatoes, salt and pepper
and the herb bundle. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover (keeping lid slightly
askew), and cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Add garlic
and parsley.
