• *If you don't have rendered bacon fat on hand, you can cook 4 strips to get the fat needed in this recipe
• You can then crumble the cooked bacon on at the end too **Here's how Granny always peeled her spuds for this dish: she removed just one strip of peel the width of the peeler around the center of each potato
• So, the rounds are naked in the middle, but have caps of peel on two ends
