Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large new red potatoes, peeled and sliced not too thin and not too thick
1 small sweet onion, sliced thin and diced
6-10 slice bacon, cooked lightly crisp and diced
2 sprig(s) curly parsley, minced
1 clove garlic, minced fine
1/4 c bell pepper, diced
2 - 3 medium baby portabella mushrooms
3 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste (i use fresh ground pepper)
3 - 5 shakes of paprika (i use hungarian paprika)
2 - 3 sheet(s) aluminum foil

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Lay a layer of aluminum foil in the bottom of roasting pan. Cook your bacon until lightly crisped. Place bacon on paper to drain excess grease while preparing the remainder.
2. Using bacon grease from pan and using paper towel, lightly coat the aluminum foil with the grease to help prevent sticking.
3. Put in the foil your sliced potatoes, diced onion, parsley and garlic. Add 1/2 of the bacon and gently toss to mix well. Salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle the paprika.. gently toss to mix well again. Top with remaining bacon. Top with slices of butter.
4. Take the additional piece(s) of aluminum foil placing on the top of the mixture and sealing edges to bottom layer.
5. Bake in oven at 350 Degrees for 35 minutes. Remove foil to brown lightly for about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Chef's Note: If cooking on the grill, bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until done. Can top with green onion, cheese, or mix grated sharp cheese into it during the cooking process.
