Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cook them in a large pot of salted water for about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool before slicing into rounds.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion for 5 minutes until soft.
