Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 2 large potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Cook the 4 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Add the 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer and season with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat until golden and crispy on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until tender and browned on the other side, about 4 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Crumble the bacon over the potatoes and toss to combine. Serve hot.
