1
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, then transfer it to a plate and leave the rendered fat in the pan.
2
Add the sliced or diced potatoes to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, about 10–12 minutes.

Stir in the chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking until the onion softens and the potatoes are well browned, 4–5 minutes.
