FOR THE POTATOES

Step 1: Put the potatoes on the tray and toss with tongs to thoroughly coat them in bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and lots of pepper. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, stir well and bake an additional 20 minutes. Stir again, making sure that none of the potatoes are sticking to the tray. Bake another 15 minutes.
