Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 45 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 6 slices Irish bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.

  4. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
