Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Chop the onion into small pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the bacon grease in the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them in an even layer. Cook for about 5 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottoms to crisp and brown.
Stir the potatoes and add the chopped onion to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and the onions are soft.
Season the potatoes and onions with garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients with the seasonings.
Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the potatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the bacon and let the flavors meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Chuck Wagon Potatoes hot. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley for a pop of freshness.
