1cupyellow onion,diced
1½teaspoonsgarlic,minced
1tablespoonkosher salt

1teaspoonfresh parsley,chopped
Instructions
Bacon
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Cook bacon for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Reserve the bacon fat.
Potatoes
In a large, oven-safe skillet, add the potatoes. (Can also use a 9x13 casserole dish.)
Pour ½ cup of the bacon fat over the cold potatoes, tossing to coat. (The potatoes will look 'waxy'.)
Pour the broth and butter over the potatoes.
Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Bake for 45-50 minutes at 425°F, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. (If there is a big difference in sizes, some of the smaller potatoes may be done sooner. Keep an eye on them.)
Remove from the oven, and lightly stir the potatoes. Top with the cooked bacon pieces.
Return to the oven for 5 more minutes to reheat the bacon. Serve immediately.
Notes
Note: For larger potatoes, you can slice them in half. Cook time may vary if using larger potatoes.
