Notes

 
Tips
  1. If time permits, wash and cut up the potatoes at least an hour before use then leave it out in a colander till you are ready to microwave it. This helps to remove the moisture in the potatoes and keeps it crisp
  2. If you decide not to use bacon, you won't have bacon grease. You can substitute the bs on grease with 3 Tbsp butter or 2 Tbsp cooking oil of choice
