How to Make Old Fashioned Home Fried Potatoes
- Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add potatoes and onions to the skillet with the bacon grease. Stir to coat evenly.
- Cook covered over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender but not browned.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked bacon.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
