To make chopping simpler, chill bacon in the freezer. Cut potatoes into cubes and soak in water so they don’t turn brown.

In a big skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Drain the potato pieces, toss them in, season with pepper, salt, and Old Bay. Stir frequently while cooking for about 10 minutes.

Toss in the diced bacon with the potatoes. Let it cook for 5-6 minutes until it’s crunchy and fat coats the potatoes.

Turn the heat to medium-low and stir in garlic and parsley. Cook just one minute till the smell is rich.

Pour over maple syrup and let everything caramelize for another minute. Dish out and enjoy hot, maybe topped with a fried egg.
