I wanted to make bacon roasted potatoes, but am unsure of exactly how to go about it.... any advice?

I'm still new at cooking....so a little bit clueless, but I really want to make bacon roasted potatoes for the first time. I know bacon grease and potatoes are involved but I'm unsure of how much to use and what exactly to do....I wanted to make bacon roasted potatoes, but am unsure of exactly how to go about it.... any advice?
you could leave out the rosemary if you don't want/like it...





Oven-Roasted Potatoes with Bacon and Rosemary





6 pounds of new potatoes, quartered or halved -- depends on size


1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature


6 oz bacon, chopped, fried


1/4 cup olive oil


2 T crumbled dried rosemary or 8 sprigs of fresh rosemary


1 tsp salt


pepper to taste





Par boil the potatoes until barely fork tender (still firm), about 15 minutes. Do Not overcook the potatoes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drain potatoes and let cool for a few minutes. Using all the butter, coat the bottom and sides of a shallow pan. Toss potatoes, bacon, olive oil, seasonings, rosemary together and put into shallow pan. Roast, turning often, until all the fat is absorbed and the potatoes are crisp -- 60-90 minutes.

4 slices bacon


4 large, about 2 pounds (1 kg) Yukon Gold Potatoes, unpeeled and cut lengthwise into 8 wedges


2 medium onions, halved


1 head garlic, peeled


2 Tbsp (30 mL) fresh thyme leaves or 2 tsp dried


1脷2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper








Instructions


Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). In a large roasting pan, cook bacon until crisp, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove bacon; drain on paper towels, crumble and set aside. Pour bacon fat into small bowl (there should be approximately 1/4 cup - if not, add vegetable oil to equal this amount). Place potatoes (skin side down), onions and garlic in roasting pan. Drizzle bacon fat over vegetables. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Roast for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and lightly browned. Adjust seasonings and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.





Yield: 4 servings
Roasted Potatoes and Bacon





6 slices bacon


8 medium red potatoes, quartered lengthwise


4 onions, coarsely chopped


陆 teaspoon salt


鈪?teaspoon ground black pepper





Heat oven to 450 degrees F.


Cook bacon on sided cookie sheet, turning once, 15 minutes, or until crisp. Remove from sheet pan and reserve.





Add potatoes to cookie sheet and toss to coat with bacon fat. Cook 15 minutes, add onions and toss to combine.





Cook, turning potatoes once, an additional 45 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and onions are tender. Remove to serving dish and crumble reserved bacon on top.
fry the bacon, set aside and let drain on a paper towel.





peel (if you want) your potatoes, then cut them up into chunks. put them in a bowl and pour the bacon grease over them. stir to coat (might be hot). you can also use a little olive if the bacon grease isn't enough to coat the potatoes. this is where you want to season the potatoes also. salt, pepper, and garlic powder are great.





cut or break up the bacon into little pieces, put them in the bowl with the potatoes. you can also add diced onions and stir again.





preheat the oven to 350.





spread the potatoes onto a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. put in the oven for at least an hour (until the potatoes are soft). stir every 20 - 30 minutes.
