Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes (skin-on for extra texture)

Garlic Bacon Fried Breakfast Potatoes

Absolutely nobody has time for bland breakfast potatoes. **Crisp** them up with garlic and bacon, and you’ve got a side that steals the show.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes (skin-on for extra texture)
• 4 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped (go for the smoky kind—it’s a game-changer)

Instructions

2. **Toss** the diced potatoes into the bacon fat. Drizzle with olive oil if needed to coat evenly. Spread them in a single layer—crowding is the enemy of crispiness.
