Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large skillet, heat on medium until hot, then add thick-cut Irish bacon, cooking until crispy, about 5–7 minutes.
In the same skillet, add diced Yukon Gold or red potatoes and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes until golden brown.
Once golden, add thinly sliced sweet onions and stir gently, cooking for another 4–5 minutes.
Crumble the crispy bacon back into the skillet, stir gently to combine, and warm through for an additional 2–3 minutes.
For a final crisp, broil the skillet for 2–3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
