    Made these for Recipe Swap, and served them with an Apple Dijon Pork Roast I did in the slow cooker...it's a football day, which means snacks all day, so didn't serve anything else with it. Just the roast with it's mushrooms and carrots, and these, topped with a lil sour cream and chives. They were excellent! :) I used 5 pieces of bacon(had exactly that many left over, so used 'em all), and green onions because I had some I wanted to use. So, I did the bacon, added the onion and spinach together(with a touch of butter, just cus I'm southern ;), then the taters seasoned with salt and pepper. I used my cast iron, and that really put a nice crust on these. :) They'd be fantastic for a breakfast or brunch, too. Thanks for the recipe, Lillian! :)

    All these years of frying spuds, I never thought to add bacon. I never thought to add spinach either but I'm really kicking myself in the head about the bacon. The spinach adds so much healthy that it takes away any bad the bacon adds! (-:
