bacon and egg sunrise
If you are into bacon I cannot recommend the following stuff enough. It is expensive to mail order, but around here goes for $6 per 3/4 lb at the grocery store. Their applewood smoked bacon is also excellent, but contains nitrites.

The big question is ...... how do you like your bacon cooked - floppy or crispy?
I'm a crispy guy myself, anything less than that and I feel as if I'm chewing on raw rubbery bacon...it ain't cooked if it doesn't snap in half. lol
Bacon enhances just about anything it's made with, potatoes and little bits of crispy bacon go so well together.
Here's a dish I made recently -
Steam long, fat finger sized pieces of potato until in between firm and soft, remove from the steamer (in my case a rice cooker) and while still hot add lots of butter and other additives like pepper, a little salt (not too much as the bacon will add lots of salt), diced shallots or parsley, dived cabbage, etc etc to the potatoes in a bowl with high sides, then swirl, toss and turn them around for more than 30 seconds, probably less than an minute, if you have to use a spoon to make sure they are all well coated, take care not to mash or break up the slices, so use wood not metal.
Ideally, the finger sized slices will have lightly rounded edges and are not falling apart, also, the outside of the slices should be evenly lightly gooey with the butter and dissolved potato, then, of course, sprinkle lots of fine cut bacon over the potatoes and serve hot
A brunch with the above potatoes with scrambled eggs, maybe a stew as well, cold cuts of meat, veggies, some type of bread, fresh squeezed OJ, fruit etc and coffee afterwards. I prefer spuds prepared this way now, I like the texture better than mashed.
