Welcome to Brunch Week.
Today’s recipe is an over the top, fill your belly, lay on the couch afterward kind of breakfast.
So it’s essentially the PERFECT breakfast right.
It has yummy taters, and BACON.
Yah, you bet your sweet butt it’s got bacon.
Cuz bacon rules.
Brunch Week is still going strong with lots of great recipes for you to try for Mother’s Day, or any day really. I’d like to thank Christine of Cook the Story for inviting me to participate. I’ve never done something like this and it’s been so much fun each day.
For anyone who has not entered the massive giveaway you need to stop by the Candied Bacon post. You can read more about all the amazing prizes we have up for grabs this week. You can enter once or multiple times, whatever floats your boat.
- 1 pound of bacon cut into cubes
- 3 large russet potatoes cut into cubes
- Salt to taste
-
In a large cast iron skillet cook the bacon over medium low heat. Stir quite often to keep it from sticking. Cook until browned the way you like it.
-
Spoon out the bacon and set aside. Do not get rid of bacon drippings. You want that.
-
Pop the potatoes in the skillet in the bacon drippings and cook potatoes until they are golden brown. Mine took about 15/20 minutes. It will vary depending on your pan, stove and size of your cubes.
-
Pop the bacon back in the pan and stir until well combined.
-
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess fat.
-
Transfer to a serving bowl.
-
Serve with a big old bacon loving smile!
Make sure you stop by all the other BrunchWeekers to see what they whipped up for you!

Abbe@This is How I Cook says
Bacon and potatoes. My two favorite foods. But I’d have to add pepper!
Kim Beaulieu says
Ha, I always forget to say add pepper and salt to taste cuz I freaking hate pepper. You can have my share of pepper. xx
Susan says
omm nom nom nom I love that you call for an entire pound of bacon. That’s my girl, I’m hungry and I want this now! Walked by the deli on the way to work and smelled bacon. I suffered through yogurt for breakfast. BAAAACOOON!!!!
Kim Beaulieu says
I know right. I should have weighed the cooked portion to be accurate cuz some of it was lost to noshing while cooking. Oh you poor dear, I ate a pound of bacon and had yogurt. I’ll balance it out tomorrow and eat a yogurt in your honour. Oh wait, I’m having Turtles French Bread for breakfast tomorrow. *evil laugh*
BAAAACOOOON!!!!!
john@kitchenriffs says
Bacon does indeed rule! I’d probably cook some onions along with the potatoes but that’s just me. And maybe just a touch of garlic. But otherwise I’d make it exactly the same way you do (and actually have, often, in the past!). Good stuff – wonderful for breakfast or even as a dinner side.
Kim Beaulieu says
I did a batch with some jazz for a future post, ha. I had to do it. You know me with shallots and onions. This is such a great standby right. Perfect for any brunch get together.
Suzanne says
That is one bowl of bacon heaven! I love how crispy both the bacon and the potatoes look.
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Suzanne. I like mine extra crispy, like my chicken. Lol.
Meagan @ Scarletta Bakes says
Need. This. Hash. In. My. Life. Right. Now.
Seriously, love this so much! The perfect brunch dish!
Kim Beaulieu says
You’re welcome for brunch any day lady. I’ll even candy the bacon for you. Make it extra special.
kelly @ kellybakes says
Guess who’s got two thumbs, a bag of potatoes, bacon in her freezer and (soon) this on her table? THIS GIRL. So easy. So carby. So bacony. Yes.
Kim Beaulieu says
Ha, I love it Kelly. You’re hilarious. Enjoy!
Ann Mc says
Dee-lish! Sounds like bacon and potato heaven! If I could, I’d have my friend over for breakfast…..her name is Fiona!
Hugs always girlfriend!
Kim Beaulieu says
Princess Fiona would love that.
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef says
Those are PERFECT breakfast potatoes. I could eat just the potatoes.
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Maureen. I just love potatoes for breakfast.
Kayle (The Cooking Actress) says
This looks AMAZINGGGGG omg! The potatoes + bacon=heaven
Kim Beaulieu says
Exactly! Bacon heaven.
Tara says
Oh my heavens, doesn’t that look good. With a nice runny egg I would be all over that!!
Kim Beaulieu says
My hubs would like it like that.
Andrea {From the Bookshelf} says
Bacon and potatoes, doesn’t get much better than that! Looks yummy!

Thanks so much. I feel the same way.
