"It immediately imparts that smoky, savory profile without overpowering the hash browns with bacon flavor,"

"creates crisped bits of potato goodness without too much effort."

"It imparts flavor and richness like butter but distributes quickly and evenly to coat the bits of potato for equal-opportunity crisping of each bite."

Frying hash browns in bacon grease adds a smoky, savory profile while avoiding an overpowering bacon taste and produces crisped potato bits with little effort. Bacon grease performs the roles of butter and neutral oil by providing richness and distributing quickly to coat shredded potatoes for even crisping. Leftover skillet drippings or jarred bacon fat can be used as a thrifty, zero-waste ingredient and stored in the refrigerator for later use. Adding grated onions further enhances the savory flavor. Bacon grease also helps protect potatoes from burning while promoting toastiness.
