I hope…I really hope…that you are already a fan of making bacon in the oven<\/a>. It’s the best…no messy grease spatters on the stovetop, you can cook a bunch at once (because more bacon = more better), and now…you can also make these life-changing super crispy roasted potatoes on your lovely foil-lined pan of bacon grease before you wrap that baby up and throw it away! You might think “life-changing” is an exaggeration…but I guess you’ve never had potatoes roasted in bacon fat.<\/p>\n

My mom recently started doing this and texted me the most jealousy-inducing picture of the potatoes. And while I have many times painstakingly poured off my bacon grease to save it in the fridge (most likely to throw it away later, sadly enough), I had never thought of using it while it was right there on the pan! Which is tragic.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, while your bacon is cooking, chop up a pile of potatoes. If you want them to get super crispy, you can’t crowd the pan. I used 6 medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes for this batch, but any potatoes will do. When the bacon is cooked, take out the pan and bump up the oven temperature to 425. Once you’ve taken the bacon off of the pan, add the potatoes and stir them around to coat them with bacon grease. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt, and pop them in the oven!! Easiest prep ever!<\/p>\n

I like to give them a stir partway through the roasting time so they can get evenly crispy. Taste them and add an extra sprinkle of salt at the end if they need it!<\/p>\n

And then you’ve got your bacon…and your super crispy roasted potatoes…and all you need is a nice fried egg! This makes such a great brunch, lunch, breakfast for dinner, or regular-dinner side dish! If, say, I made bacon for breakfast and want these potatoes at dinner, I’m not opposed to leaving my pan and greasy foil out on the stove top until I’m ready to roast the potatoes (don’t people leave bacon grease out? That’s a thing, right?!)…just pop the pan in the oven while it preheats to liquify the bacon fat. Whatever you do, please try these potatoes as soon as possible!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a>
