You’re going to want to use some pretty fatty bacon. Mine had about a 60-40 fat-to-meat ratio. This way, you’ll actually have enough fat for roasting potatoes. It’s the weekend. We’re allowed to let loose and cook our potatoes in bacon fat if we want to. Speaking of frying bacon, did you catch this study several months ago on why bacon smells so good? As it turns out, there are about 150 organic compounds that are activated when that fat hits the hot pan. No wonder my apartment smelled like bacon for hours!
