👩🍳 Expert Tips
- For maximum crispiness, make sure your potatoes are dry before cooking moisture can prevent that golden, crispy finish!
- Use a mix of red and golden potatoes for a nice balance of flavor and texture red potatoes hold their shape while golden ones get extra crispy.
- For extra flavor, toss in some chopped fresh parsley right before serving. It adds a pop of color and a fresh kick that perfectly complements the Old Bay seasoning!
💭 FAQs
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep that crispy, flavorful crunch!
Absolutely! Swap the bacon for turkey bacon or skip it entirely for a vegetarian version. Still delicious and packed with flavor!
Yes! You can switch the golden and red potatoes for whatever variety you like, Yukon Gold or even sweet potatoes for a twist!
Make sure to spread them out in a single layer while cooking and let them crisp up in the pan before adding the peppers and bacon. The secret is in the crispy edges!
