When I was little, my dad and I would get up early on Sundays and make these for the family. The rest of the gang would be awakened by the tempting aroma. —Teresa Koide, Manchester, Connecticut

Ingredients

1 pound bacon, chopped
8 medium potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium-low heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Remove bacon drippings from pan and reserve.
Working in batches, add 1/4 cup bacon drippings, potatoes, onion, salt and pepper to pan; toss to coat. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until potatoes are golden brown and tender, 15-20 minutes, adding more drippings as needed. Stir in cooked bacon; serve immediately.

Great recipie! I used half of the bacon drippings. I took a portion of the potatoes (my family does not like a lot of spice) and added finely chopped cajun bell pepper and added it at the end with the bacon bits. Delicious!

I make this same recipe and add scrambled eggs and rice. It is my family’s favorite breakfast recipe.

I often cook this same recipe for my German hubs and add beat in scrambled eggs sometimes. He likes it both ways and so do our boys.
