Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Remove 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature. Wash and dry all produce.
- Remove any brown spots from potatoes, then cut into 1/2-inch wedges.
- To an unlined baking sheet, add potatoes, half the Montreal Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 25-28 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
- Meanwhile, cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When hot, add bacon. Cook 5-7 min, flipping occasionally, until crispy.**
- Remove the pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to one side of a plate to cool slightly. Set aside.
- Reserve bacon fat in the pan.
- Meanwhile, cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Reheat the pan with bacon fat over medium.
- When hot, add ciabatta pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 5-6 min, stirring often, until golden and crisp.
