Instructions:

Step	Description
1	Peel and prepare the spuds according to your preference, whether diced, thinly sliced like potato chips, or grated.
2	For an authentic old-fashioned diner experience, parboil the potatoes the night before. Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil and add the potatoes. Allow them to return to a rolling boil, ensuring they are cooked through but not mushy. Stir occasionally and taste-test for the desired texture.
3	Once cooked, drain the potatoes thoroughly and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process. This step is crucial to prevent the potatoes from becoming overcooked.
4	If using grated or thinly sliced potatoes, drain and rinse them before the water reaches a full boil to prevent them from cooking too quickly.
5	Store the parboiled potatoes in a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight.
6	The next morning, remove the desired amount of potatoes from the fridge, approximately 1 medium potato or a large handful per person.
7	Preheat a skillet or griddle until a drop of water dances on the surface.
8	Add bacon grease to the skillet, ensuring enough to lightly coat all the potatoes. Adjust the quantity based on the amount you’re cooking.
9	Maintain medium heat for even cooking, mimicking the constant temperature of diner grills. Use a heavy cast-iron or aluminum pan for best results.
10	Drop the parboiled potatoes into the hot grease and continuously flip them until evenly coated. Press down gently to ensure even heating, and cover with a flat pot lid until ready to turn.
11	Brown the potatoes to your desired preference, flipping them once to ensure even cooking.
12	Once browned on both sides, use a spatula to loosen the potatoes from the pan and transfer them to a serving plate.
13	Serve hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy potatoes and savory bacon grease, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

Tips:

Experiment with different potato varieties for unique flavor profiles.
Adjust the amount of bacon grease based on personal preference and dietary restrictions.
Ensure the skillet or griddle is adequately heated before adding the potatoes to achieve the perfect crispiness.
For added flavor, sprinkle with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices before serving.
