Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 6–8 strips bacon (chopped into small pieces)
  • 1 large onion (chopped, yellow or white)
  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley or chives (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil or butter (if needed, in addition to bacon fat)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and set aside, keeping the fat in the pan.
  2. Add the cubed potatoes and chopped onion to the hot bacon fat. If needed, add vegetable oil or butter, then season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cover with a lid and steam for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

  6. Serve hot as a side dish or breakfast hash.

Notes

For a healthier option, reduce the amount of bacon or use turkey bacon. You can also add other vegetables for variety.
