Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 6 chopped bacon strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy and browned, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Add 1 large diced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent and slightly golden.
Step 3: Add 2 diced medium carrots and 4 peeled, diced medium potatoes to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring every 5 minutes, for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender and edges are crisp.
Step 4: Stir the cooked bacon back into the skillet with the vegetables and cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill over the top before serving for a fresh herbal note.
