Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by placing the cubed potatoes in a medium-sized saucepan. Sprinkle them with the measured salt, and then cover the potatoes with cold water. This initial step ensures that the potatoes absorb just the right amount of salt while cooking.

Boil and Drain: Bring the saucepan to a vigorous boil over high heat. Once boiling, allow the potatoes to simmer for a single minute, just enough to start cooking them without making them mushy. Afterward, carefully drain the potatoes in a colander and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy texture later.
-
Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, add the slice of bacon and place it over medium heat. Allow the bacon to cook until it becomes beautifully crispy and fragrant. Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, allowing it to drain and become even crispier while you prepare the potatoes.
-
Sauté in Bacon Fat: With the skillet still hot and containing the delicious bacon fat, add the butter. Increase the heat to medium, letting the butter melt and combine with the rendered fat. This combination adds a rich depth of flavor to the dish.
-
Brown the Potatoes: Carefully add the prepared potatoes to the skillet. Arrange them so that the cut sides face down; this allows them to achieve that golden brown crust we all crave. Allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed for several minutes, turning them only as needed until they are a perfect golden brown, approximately 25 minutes in total.
-
Add Garlic and Parsley: As the potatoes reach their desired color, stir in the minced garlic and the chopped fresh parsley. Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly browned, infusing the potatoes with its savory aroma.
-
Finish and Serve: Finally, crumble the crispy bacon over the potatoes, stirring everything together gently. Taste the mixture and season with additional salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed. Once everything is combined and heated through, serve your Crispy Potatoes With Bacon, Garlic, and Parsley hot and enjoy!
