Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes
- 150–200 g bacon, chopped
- Olive oil, as needed
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Chop the bacon into small pieces.
- Cook the Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside, leaving some of the bacon fat in the pan.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add a little olive oil to the skillet with the bacon fat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Combine and Serve: Add the crispy bacon back to the pan, stir to combine, and cook for another minute. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For Extra Crispiness: Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring to allow them to develop a crispy crust.
- Bacon Alternatives: Turkey bacon or pancetta can be used for different flavors.
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for best results.
- Add More Flavor: Try adding garlic, paprika, or fresh herbs like rosemary for extra depth.
