3.

Add in the onions and red peppers and saute over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until softened and the onions develop color.

4.

Add in the chopped potatoes and give a thorough toss, making sure the potatoes are evenly coated in fat. Press everything down into an even layer, and let sit over medium heat undisturbed for 2 minutes.

5.

Using a firm sharp spatula, dig under the potatoes and flip them before patting them back down into an even layer. Let sit undisturbed for another 2 minutes. Repeat this process about 4 times, until everything is cooked, crisp, and browned.

6.

Before the final flip, add in a couple finely minced fresh sage leaves along with chopped bacon from earlier.
