Waiting time: Cook the potatoes the day before
Cooking time: 30 + 10 minutes

It's best to cook the potatoes a day before you wish to sauté them so that they will stay in nice cubes instead of breaking down into mashed potatoes.

1. Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender but still firm - do not overcook;
2. let cool; peel and cut into cubes;
3. in a skillet, gently sauté the bacon pieces until they begin to brown; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside;
4. sauté the onions gently in the bacon fat until translucent; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside;
5. add the vegetable oil to the remaining bacon fat; heat over moderate heat;
6. add the potatoes and fry until golden brown and slightly crispy;
7. add the onions and bacon; season with salt and pepper; mix well and heat everything through.
