Ingredients

1/2 lb. lean slab bacon, diced
3 Tbsp. butter
6 medium Russet potatoes, unpeeled and diced
1 large green pepper, diced
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 lb. mushrooms, coarsely chopped
salt
freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1

Saute bacon in large skillet and saute over low heat.
2

When evenly browned and the fat is rendered, drain the bacon on paper towels and set it aside.
3

Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon drippings and discard.
4

Melt the butter in the pan with the remaining bacon drippings.
5

Add the potatoes, green pepper, onion and mushrooms.
6

Saute over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes, making sure to stir frequently. Add a bit more butter, if necessary, to prevent sticking.
7

Add the reserved bacon, salt to taste, and plenty of fresh black pepper. Saute for an additional 5 minutes, to allow flavors to blend. Serve warm.
