Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent oxidation and to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 4

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

Add the butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease and allow it to melt over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the potato slices in a single layer to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Once all the potato slices are cooked, set them aside on a plate. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.

Step 8

Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Add the chopped bacon, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gently toss everything together to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasoning.

Step 9

Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 10

Garnish the fried potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish or a hearty snack.
