Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Finely chop the parsley and mince the garlic. Set both aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet and discard any extra.
Chop the cooked bacon into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer if possible. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to season.
Cook the potatoes over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and tender. Cover the skillet with a lid to help them cook evenly, if necessary.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and add the chopped bacon to the mix. Toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and give the dish a final toss to incorporate all the flavors.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
