I discovered this gem of a recipe by SmittenKitchen waaaahey back in 2010. I tried it. I loved it. Then for reasons that I can’t quite explain off it drifted into the vacuum that sometimes stands in for my brain…never to pop into my conscience thought process again. byeeeeeeeeee
Until just last week.
I was scrolling through Instagram (I know, I know, soul twisting time suck that it may be) and up pops this beauty – Deb’s Spring Asparagus Pancetta Hash – from the archives. 
Hey there! I KNOW YOU! Memories suddenly flooded back into my vortex (wax on wax off, I guess) of smoky bacony goodness, perfectly browned cubes of potato and tender crisp asparagus pieces all loved up together with a little caramelized onion along for the ride. THIS WAS SO GOOD! I specifically remember how much I loved it at the time. HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN? (oh am I yelling now?)
Are you telling me I have wasted 8 years of my life???? This makes me so unhappy.
