This is a great recipe for homefries from my Dad. Reduce or increase the recipe as needed for your crowd. This feeds 6-8. I like to cook the potatoes the night before to cut down on prep time. Enjoy.

Ingredients

bacon drippings (from 1/2 lb. fried bacon)
6 eastern potatoes, peeled & boiled
3 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika

Steps:

Slice boiled potatoes when cool. Cut to desired thickness. I cut mine up to 1/2 inch thick and not necessarily into perfect slices.
Fry up bacon until crisp and set aside. You will not be adding the bacon to the dish.
Put potatoes into pan or skillet containing bacon drippings that is heated to medium-high heat.
Add onion flakes and stir gently, making sure as many pieces of potato as possible are flat in the bottom of the pan.
Let potatoes get golden-to-medium brown on one side (five minutes?) and sprinkle paprika over potatoes.
Flip potatoes over and continue to cook until other side is similarly cooked.
Serve immediately.

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
Coarse salt
3/4 pound thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 red onion (about 10 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Place potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Salt the water. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook until potatoes have softened but are still slightly firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes; cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
Cook bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat until all fat has been rendered and bacon is crisp and brown, about 15 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; set aside on a paper towel to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add reserved potatoes; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add reserved bacon, peppers, onion, and thyme; cook until vegetables have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and serve.
