Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Freeze the bacon for about 30 minutes to make cutting easier. Once firm, slice it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Wash the golden potatoes thoroughly and dice them into ½-inch cubes. Soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the potatoes, add to the hot oil, season, and cook for about 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Stir in the bacon pieces and cook together for an additional 5-6 minutes, adjusting heat to keep everything crispy.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Drizzle maple syrup over the mixture and toss to coat, cooking for an additional minute.
Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve hot.
