Let me tell you my boyfriend absolutely loves when I make this. His eyes even light up. But it is not something to make all the time for health reasons ;-) But that is what is so good about it.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -5 medium potatoes

Steps:

  • Peel all potatoes and cut up in to 4ths.Put potatoes in a pot with water and salt.Cover. Put on high until it boils then lower a little. Total boiling time should be 30 minutes.
  • Cut up bacon and onion into smaller pieces.Add to a 10-12" pan 1 tablespoon butter.Let fry for 5-7mins so bacon grease can accumulate.
  • Drain potatoes when they are done and add to frying pan.With a spoon make potatoes pieces even smaller and stir mixture together. Add another tablespoon butter and stir.
  • Turn flame up med-high and cover so potatoes can brown. Every 5 minutes or so stir potatoes and add salt and pepper to taste. Also add more butter if necessary.
