Ingredients

  • 5 lb. unpeeled potatoes (don't use Baking Potatoes, as they are too flaky)

  • Add the diced onions to the bacon drippings in the pan.
  • Saute the onions until translucent, then remove the onions from the pan and set aside with the crisp bacon.
  • Do not drain any remaining bacon drippings in the pan.
  • Add the vegetable oil to the bacon drippings and heat over medium-high.
  • Add the cubed potatoes to the pan.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute the potatoes until they begin to get a golden crust.
  • Return the crisp bacon and the translucent onions to the pan and toss gently with the potatoes.
  • Saute for another 5 minutes.
  • Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
