Gather all your ingredients. Dice the Yukon Gold or red potatoes, slice the yellow onion, chop the bacon, and chop parsley.

Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon for 6-8 minutes until crispy.

Push the bacon to one side and sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and mix with bacon and onions. Season with salt, pepper, and optional ingredients.

Spread the mixture evenly and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes. Flip and stir every 3-4 minutes for another 10-15 minutes.

For added crunch, dot the skillet with butter or drizzle with oil and broil for 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
