directions
- In a large saucepan of simmering salted water, cook the potatoes until tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Drain well, return to the saucepan, and shake over medium heat until they are dry. Remove from the heat and when they are cool enough to handle, peel them, and cut into 1/2-inch dice.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, onion, scallions, salt and pepper together.
- In a large skillet, preferably nonstick, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Reserving the fat in the skillet, drain the bacon on paper towels; crumble and set aside.
- Add the butter (if you are not using a nonstick skillet, it may be necessary to add more butter to keep the potatoes from sticking) to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat, Add the potato mixture and press firmly into the pan with a spatula. Cook, flipping frequently, until the potatoes brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve hot with crumbled bacon on top.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
