My German grandmother taught me to cook, and she used bacon drippings in almost every recipe, even cookies! I happened upon this concoction one summer Sunday afternoon when our neighbors gave us a bumper crop of vegetables from their garden. Naturally I stared with grandmother's favorite ingredient...bacon!

Very good. Makes a lot. I used three man-fist-sized Yukon gold potatoes, and the rest as in recipe. Cooked the potatoes a long time up front to get them browned and mealy. The dill was actually not overwhelming, as I was afraid it would be. This basically makes a very nice hash, and is convenient, as it combines the potato and veggies in one side dish! Somewhat picky husband and son both liked.

This was soooo yummy! I made it easier on myself and I cooked the veggies and potatoes in 2 tbls olive oil (in my frying pan on 300 degrees) and I cooked the bacon in the microwave and cut it up and added it at the very last. I didn't have dill weed and so I used basil instead you can also use parsley or just salt and pepper would be good too! MMMMM and it was a good way to use all the yummy veggies Mom gave me!!!
