How to Make Yukon Ed's Home Fries

  1. Boil 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes until tender. Cool completely and slice to about 1/2-inch thickness. Don't worry about making perfect slices!
  2. Cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside; reserve bacon grease.
  3. Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons reserved bacon grease (or vegetable oil if needed).
  4. Add the sliced potatoes to the hot pan, ensuring as many pieces as possible are in contact with the pan's surface.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons onion flakes and gently stir.
  6. Cook potatoes undisturbed until golden brown and crispy on one side (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
  8. Carefully flip the potatoes and cook the other side until golden brown and crispy (another 5-7 minutes).
  9. Serve the Yukon Ed's Famous Home Fries immediately. Enjoy!
