Country Potatoes with Bacon

Ingredients

• Bacon (6 strips, chopped)
• Potatoes (4 medium, diced)
• Onion (1 medium, diced)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Green onions (2, chopped)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
2. Add the diced potatoes to the same skillet and spread them out in a single layer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
3. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.
5. Crumble the reserved crispy bacon and add it back to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato mixture. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving, adding a fresh crunch to your delicious dish.
