Crisp Bacon Potatoes

Just to note: The intent of the recipe is for the bacon fat to render out and spill over the potatoes while they baking thus creating a crispy outer layer to the potatoes and crisp bacon strips. Bacon that has already been cooked would not provide the bacon fat necessary to coat the potatoes so that they become crispy on the outside nor would it provide the flavor. Another possible alternative, though I have not tried this, would be to toss the potatoes in the bacon fat rendered out from the cooked bacon. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and place the cooked bacon on top. The only problem with this method is that the bacon would more than likely burn.

This is a nice side dish and an easy way to fix potatoes. I added salt and pepper. I can imagine lots of variations like adding onions and garlic, but it was good this way.

Excellent! Easy & simple, but Very Good! I wouldn't change a thing. These are sooo good and sooo easy, why would you? Thank-you Caryn.

I will definatly make this one again.My family loves potatoes and this was right up our alley.After it came from the oven I added some cheese and sour cream.This going in my permanent cooking file.Thanks for sharing.

Made this using red skinned potatoes and I didn't peel them. It did not get as crisp as I think it was suppose to, maybe not peeling the potatoes or the type of potatoes I used caused this. But the flavor was all there. I acually liked the texture. My nephews couldn't stop eating them. This is definitly a keeper. The bacon crisped just fine and that is waiting for breakfast tomorrow.
