#3799 - Hearty Breakfast Potatoes

(by Shirley McNevich)

1/3 cup butter
6 large potatoes
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1/3 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
6 slices bacon (more if you wish)
1 onion (chopped)

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cube them. In a cast iron skillet cook the bacon. When bacon is done, place the bacon on paper towels (but leave the drippings in the skillet). Crumble the bacon and set aside. Add the butter to the skillet over medium heat--melt the butter. Add the cubed potatoes and chopped onions--cook/stir until potatoes are golden brown and onions are tender. Remove from heat--sprinkle the potato mixture with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika--stir to coat. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top.
