For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder along with the salt and pepper. If you don't have bacon drippings, you can substitute with olive oil or butter, but the bacon drippings impart a unique smoky flavor. For even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skillet. If necessary, cook the potatoes in batches. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
