Yukon Gold potatoes are a great option.
Start by placing the bacon in a cold pan and gradually increase the heat to medium.
This method allows the fat to render slowly and decreases the chance of grease splattering over your stove.
We would not recommend making these ahead of time because cooked potatoes dry out when refrigerated.
If you must store them, refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
