Baked Potato with Balsamic Glazed Brussel Sprouts

 

I forgot how good a baked potato is! Joshua decided this meal should become a staple which I don't mind because it's so darn simple.

 

Baked Potato with Balsamic Glazed Brussel Sprouts:

2 russet potatoes

4 oz pancetta

12 brussels sprouts; halved

parsley

3 tbs balsamic glaze

 

preheat oven to 400

1   pierce potatoes with fork tines and bake potato for 20 minutes

2   place brussels sprouts and pancetta on baking sheet, drizzle with balsamic glaze, add a little salt and pepper, place in oven with potato for 40 minutes

3   occasionally stir the brussels sprouts and flip the potatoes

4   remove both from oven, cut potatoes in half and mash with the back of a fork,

5   top each smashed potato with the Brussels sprout mixture and drizzle on a little extra balsamic glaze
