# Instructions:

Pop bacon in the freezer to chop easily later. Cut potatoes into cubes and soak them in water so they don’t turn brown.

Warm olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Drain potatoes and toss them in. Sprinkle with Old Bay, pepper, and salt. Stir every now and then during the 10 minutes of cooking.

Mix in chopped bacon with the potatoes. Let it cook for about 5-6 minutes, giving time for the bacon grease to help finish cooking the potatoes.

Turn heat down to medium-low. Add garlic and parsley, stirring gently for about a minute until your kitchen smells amazing.

Pour maple syrup on top and cook for one more minute to get that lovely caramelized touch. Serve warm, maybe with a fried egg on top if you like.
