Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 4 slices Smoked bacon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Place the sliced potatoes into a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are boiling, peel and slice the onion thinly. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and fry until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion to the skillet. Cook and stir until the onions become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet, then add the partially boiled potatoes. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure they brown evenly.

Step 7

Cook the potatoes without stirring for about 5-7 minutes until the bottoms are golden and crispy. Resist the urge to stir too much as this helps them get crispy.

Step 8

Carefully turn the potatoes over and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes or until they are all golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Add the cooked onions and bacon back into the skillet with the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together gently.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
