I love making fried potatoes, it is one of my families favorite side dishes, but occassionally I make them with a lot of add ins and we truly enjoy them. This recipe is very simple to make. You will need the following ingredients:
Recipe:
2 – 3 cups of potatoes, diced into bite size pieces
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 bell pepper, finely diced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 pound of bacon, fried and the drippings saved
1 cup of shredded cheese
2 tablespoons of fresh chives or sliced green onions
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat a large skillet to medium heat and add the bacon and cook it until it is cooked through. Save the grease though because that is what I am gonna fry the potatoes in.

Remove the bacon and cut it into small bite size pieces. Tip: You can cut the bacon into small pieces before you fry it for faster frying.

Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet and add the potatoes, onions, pepper, salt, pepper and garlic and cook the potatoes until they are cooked through. I add a lid to my potatoes while they are cooking but you do not have too.
