Cook the potatoes the night before, then use the reserved bacon grease from the party eggs (see related recipe) to finish the recipe.

4 pounds baking potatoes

¼ cup warm bacon grease, divided

2 onions, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced`

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring them to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then refrigerate overnight, covered.

The next day, quarter the potatoes, then cut them into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onions and peppers, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, 20 minutes. Toss the potatoes with the remaining 3 tablespoons of bacon grease, and add the potatoes to the skillet. Cook, turning once in a while so they don’t burn, until the potatoes are a nice brown color and a little crusty, 10 to 15 minutes.
