Steps:
- Wash potatoes.
- Sometimes I peel the potatoes and sometimes I don't. It's good either way.
- Slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices.
- I take frozen bacon because it's easier to cut and cut strips down the side to get my one inch pieces.
- Put enough olive oil in a large deep skillet (cast iron is good) to cover bottom of pan about 1/4 inch deep. Add all of the potatoes to the pan, along with cut up bacon which hasn't been cooked yet; diced onions, parsley and salt and pepper.
- Cook on medium high heat, stirring and watching so that potatoes don't burn because they will stick to the bottom of pan as they are cooking and you will need to scrape them up as they are browning.
- You can cover the pan for the first 20 minutes of cooking and cook on low and then turn up the heat for the last 15 minutes or so in order to brown some of the potatoes.
- Good with steaks and a salad.
- Estimated on servings time to make.

Steps:
- Cut up 6 slices of good thick smoked bacon. Put in pan till halfway cooked. Add 2 cups diced or thinly sliced potatoes. Cook until nicely browned. Season to taste.
- If you do not want the bacon with the potatoes, simply remove them after they are cooked and then add the potatoes to the bacon grease.
- Note: Boil potatoes in water till fork tender. You may keep the skins on or simply peel after they are cool enough to handle.
- Boiled potatoes and raw potatoes have a different taste when they are fried. I love them both, and it's your own personal preference what you choose.

Steps:
- Slice the cold potatoes into thin 1/8" slices, then set aside. Add about 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large frying pan and heat gently. Fry the onions till soft then add the bacon pieces. Continue frying till the bacon and onions are lightly browned then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Set aside for now. Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan and fry the potato slices over a low/medium heat, turning them occasionally. Allow them to brown lightly on one side before turning, repeating the process till most of the potatoes are golden brown. Once the potatoes are almost done, return the onion and bacon mix to the pan, season with salt and plenty of black pepper, then continue frying over a medium heat till everything is nicely browned.
Tips:
- For crispier potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a large skillet or frying pan to ensure that the potatoes have enough space to cook evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the pan with potatoes, as this will prevent them from cooking properly.
- Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and other desired spices to taste.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or mustard.
