I know what you're thinking. That sounds ridiculously delicious and healthy. Well, it is. Okay, and isn't. But who doesn't love bacon? Or butter, for that matter? Yeah, that's what I thought.
So here you have it.
- Peel, wash, and grate some potatoes. Think one potato a person (you're going to want to eat all of them, I promise).
- Dice an onion, yellow or white.
- Use the same pan you used to cook your bacon (but get rid of some of the grease...) or melt a couple tablespoons of butter in a skillet. (This is pretty scientific, huh?)
- Toss in your grated potatoes and diced onions, add some salt and pepper, and let them babies cook on medium heat.
You'll want to flip them over. I like mine a little on the brown and toasted side. If you toss them around or mix them too much, they get mushy. Just FYI. It helps if you just let them fry for a few minutes, then kind of flip them over. Just cook them until everything is soft and cooked, and even a little brown.
Eat them with a lovely over-medium egg and a piece of toast (you have to have the toast to dip in the egg yolk). They're really good with my grandma's chili sauce, but, unfortunately, I don't have the recipe for that. They're also good with salsa or ketchup. Seriously, you can't ruin these. They're just SO good!
(And so not healthy... and who cares. :D)
