NOTES

1. Potatoes:

You can cook the potatoes a day before and let them cool. Then store them covered in the refrigerator. Tip cook the potatoes for two days at a time. The first time you eat boiled potatoes with gravy. You can fry the remaining potatoes.
Pre-cooked potatoes from the supermarket are also a great choice.

2. Rosemary: Can also be replaced with thyme, oregano, and fresh parsley.

3. Extra flavor: Add a clove of finely chopped garlic to the onion mix. Or sprinkle the potatoes with grated cheese after frying. The heat melts it over the potatoes.

4. Vegetarian: For a tasty vegetarian option, you can replace the bacon with grilled vegetables, such as peppers or zucchini, or strips of sun-dried tomatoes.

5. Storage
Fried potatoes are not suitable for storing and reheating. The structure then changes too much.
