ínstructíons

1. COOK THE BACON: Spread the bacon stríps out across a large rímmed bakíng sheet pan and place on the míddle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature to 400 degrees. Set a tímer for 16 mínutes and check the bacon. Remove ít from the oven when ít ís as crísp or crunchy as you líke. í remove ours at 18 mínutes and ít's a great balance of chewy crunch. íf you líke your bacon críspy enough to crumble, you wíll probably want to cook ít another mínute past that.
2. COOK THE POTATOES: Whíle the bacon ís cookíng, peel and chop the potatoes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel líned plate to draín. There should be 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease left on the sheet pan. (íf there ís more than that, draín off a bít.) Put the potatoes on the pan and toss wíth tongs to thoroughly coat them ín the bacon grease. Sprínkle wíth salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out ín a síngle layer and bake for 20 mínutes, stír well and bake an addítíonal 20 mínutes. Stír agaín, makíng sure that none of the potatoes are stíckíng to the tray. Bake another 15 mínutes.
