Fantastic! Everyone loved these! Nice that they're made entirely on the stove. I browned them quite a bit until they were nice and crispy. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was absolutely delicious. I made them for dinner one night and the bf loved them. Made them at a friends house, and it was all they could talk about. I like serving them with Sour Cream. I think the bf ate them with a little ranch. whatever u have on hand. I used garlic powder instead of garlic cloves just because I never have garlic cloves. I seasoned to taste on everything. Excellent.

We enjoyed this very much, thank you for posting! I did halve the recipe as far as the amount of potatoes (there was only 2 of us), however, I kept the same amount of bacon, garlic, and parsley. I poured off a litte of the bacon grease, since I was using less taters, and I only used 1 TBS of butter. Very tasty with a little salt, pepper, and a dash of HOT Hungarian paprika, a keeper!
