salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Boil potatoes skin on in salted water until almost able to pierce with a fork
2. remove completely from pot to platter to cool quickly
3. In a saucier pan place bacon pieces and cook until just crispy but in no way charred
4. add sliced onion and pressed garlic
5. cook 1 minute
6. remove from pan scraping the yummies from bottom and placing on paper towels on top of newspaper and let drain
