Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb waxy potatoes boiled and sliced
  • 4 oz bacon diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Method
 

  1. Boil the potatoes until just tender, cool, then peel and slice them thick.
  2. Fry the diced bacon in a skillet until crisp, then add the onion and cook until golden.
  3. Add the butter and potato slices and let them fry undisturbed so they crisp up.
  4. Flip and continue frying until golden brown all over, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use day-old boiled potatoes for the crispiest results.
