Very simple recipe
Lovely flavour and unusual dish

How to use fried baby potatoes.

The French tarragon bacon baby potatoes are a lovely side dish with any meal.

For example the picture on the right shows the crispy bacon baby potatoes combined with air fried chicken breasts and Spinach a la creme.

On the other hand you could always simply use them as a very easy snack.

French Tarragon

In the recipe I used French tarragon.

There are 3 different types of tarragon – French, Mexican and Russian.

French Tarragon has much more taste then the other 2 varieties. For example if you use Russian tarragon you will need to use at least 4 times as much for the same flavour..

French tarragon is very easy to grow at home.

For example the picture on the right shows French Tarragon growing on a bedroom window sill in a pot, and will grow quite quickly.

It’s quite small in the picture simply because I tend to cut it back often for use in recipes.
