Ingredients

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed

Kosher salt

2 ounces pancetta, cubed very small

1/2 small yellow onion, chopped fine

1 cup whole milk

Freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water. Season well with salt and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
