One package bacon, cut into bite sized pieces

Oil for frying
___________________________________________________________
Step 1: Place potatoes into microwave safe bowl, season with above seasonings or your favorite ones, and microwave uncovered until potatoes are about 1/2 cooked through.
Step 2: Heat up about 1 to 2 inches of oil in a large skillet on medium heat, preferably a coated one to prevent smoking and sticking.
Step 3: Bring potatoes out of microwave, pat dry if damp from condensation. Re-season if necessary. Stir carefully so as not to mash the potatoes up.
Step 4: Put about half of mixture in hot oil at a time. Fry for 3 minutes and then add in half of the cut up bacon and half of the onion. Fry until scalloped potatoes are golden brown and start to show bubbling spots.
Step 5: Dip out with metal slotted spoon and put on cookie sheet and into oven on warm. Lower rest of potatoes into oil and repeat.
