    This is my favorite way of roasting potatoes. Layering them vertically in a cast iron pan means that every slice will be part tender and part crispy.

    Arrange the slices in a spiral around the edge of a cast iron pan, tucking the last potato under the first. Continue making spirals until you have filled the pan. I use my big beautiful Lodge 12 inch cast iron skillet.

    Tuck pieces of bacon into the cracks and crevices, lifting pieces of potato and sticking some bacon in between. The fat will render out of the bacon as it bakes, basting the potatoes and making them crisp and wonderful!
