Steps:

• 1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and onion rings, and cook about 6 to 7 minutes until the bacon is lightly browned and the onions are soft.
• 2. Layer the potato slices over the bacon and onions, and don't worry if the skillet seems crowded as the potatoes will reduce a bit after cooking a bit. Add stock to the skillet, and simmer until the potatoes are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
• 3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and cooked through, stirring frequently to blend all the ingredients.
• 4. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with bread on the side.
• 5. Optional: A sprinkle or two of Worcestershire sauce can be floated on top of each serving, for added flavor.
