The flavor of food fried in bacon grease is hard to beat. If you want to live on the edge sometime, thinly slice five or six raw potatoes. Be sure to leave the skins on them. While you're at it, peel and slice a big, sweet onion, breaking up the slices into rings. Put two or three tablespoons of bacon grease into your largest skillet and start frying. Add salt and pepper. Cook without the lid and keep turning with a spatula. Allow them to brown and get a little crispy. The onions caramelize in the process imparting a slightly sweet taste. The bacon grease adds a distinct smoke flavor to the dish. When the potatoes are fork-tender and browned, serve them.
VOUCHING for this.......big time. Oh boy, those WERE the days!!
Being a lover of green peppers, I also added some minced green pepper to the potato and onion, bacon grease is great. Also add to dry dog food, they love it..
