SUNNY'S EASY BACON, PEPPERS AND CHEESE HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Leave the potatoes in the bag and cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so they aren't too soft (they will cook in the pan, plus, you'll need to break them down further). Remove from the bag and let cool until cool enough to handle, then cut the larger potatoes into sixths and the smaller ones into fourths.
• In a mid-sized pan on the stovetop or on a grill on medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside. Add the butter to the bacon fat. Once it has melted, add the potatoes in one layer if possible. (If not, do the potatoes in batches.) Cook the potatoes on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes, then toss and repeat. Do this a few times; if doing in batches, you can pile the cooked potatoes on the side of the pan while the new ones get attention. Once the potatoes are almost done, push them all to the sides of the pan.
• To the center of the pan add the peppers, onions, steak seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook the veggies, stirring, until the peppers and onions are tender but still have some crunch, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon back to the pan and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the scallions.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter and add a couple shakes of Season-All, mix well.
• Add the potatoes and move them around with a spatula until they are coated with enough of the seasoned butter. Add more Season-All if it looks like there's not enough.
• On medium-high heat, let the potatoes sit for about 4-5 minutes or until one side is browned and crispy.
• Turn the potatoes over and let them cook 4-5 minutes on this side too, add more Season-All if need be.

Steps:

• Cube the potatoes in about 3/4-inch squares.
• Place into a large bowl then cover with cold water, rinse then cover once again with water.
• Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 48 hours (the longer soaking time the better!).
• Drain very well in a colander (I like to pat the potatoes dry using paper towels).
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add in garlic powder, seasoned salt and cayenne pepper (if using).
• Place the potatoes in the skillet and stir to coat with the butter.
• Cover with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the lid and cook for another 10 minutes, turning frequently with a spatula for even browning and crisping.
• Season with more seasoned salt to taste and black pepper.
• Delicious!

EASY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes to clean them, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
• Place all potato pieces onto a microwave-safe plate and cover with plastic wrap. Place plate in the microwave and cook for approximately 4 minutes (on the standard setting, which I believe is "high").
• While the potatoes are cooking in the microwave, place a griddle (or frying pan) on the stove top and turn the burner(s) on to medium heat. Add a small amount (1 tablespoon) of olive oil to the pan.
• When the potatoes are done in the microwave, carefully remove hot plate and take off plastic wrap. Watch out for steam. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil over the potatoes and then sprinkle the dried rosemary and garlic powder over them.
• When the griddle is heated, dump the potatoes onto it. After 2-3 minutes flip them over using a spatula. Continue to flip and stir them every couple of minutes as they cook, until they are done to your tastes. I usually leave them on for a total of 10 minutes.
• Remove from griddle and serve.
