Drain potatoes, transfer to large bowl and cut into quarters. Salt before they cool. (If using regular table salt, use less.).
4
Fry bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and cool. Then tear into small pieces and add to cooked, quartered potatoes.
5
Fry onion in bacon grease until translucent. Add onion AND bacon grease to bowl with potatoes and bacon. Don't leave out the bacon grease, it adds too much flavor!
