Steps:
- 1. Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry. Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate. Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.
ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON, CHEESE, AND PARSLEY
These potatoes are hard to resist with their crispy roasted outsides and creamy delicious insides. I learned to shake the boiled potatoes before baking from an English caterer. Try it! It makes a difference.

Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes. Drain.
- Return potatoes to the pot; cover with a lid and shake pot vigorously, about 1 minute. Uncover and cool potatoes until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Peel potatoes and cut them crosswise into chunks.
- Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until most of the fat has melted and bacon is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
- Brush the bottom of a shallow 10x15-inch baking pan with half of the bacon fat and olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over potatoes and arrange in the baking pan.
- Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until golden brown on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Turn potatoes over in baking pan. Top with bacon pieces, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and garlic. Drizzle remaining bacon fat on top.
- Return to the preheated oven and continue roasting until Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For crispy potatoes, choose a variety that is high in starch, such as Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help remove excess starch and make the potatoes crispier.
- Use a generous amount of oil: This will help the potatoes brown and crisp up nicely.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: Crispy potatoes are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.
