- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
- Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and cook chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon, keeping the drippings.
- Sauté the potatoes: Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender.
- Add the garlic: Toss in minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Make the Alfredo sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt butter, whisk in heavy cream, and add Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

- Finishing touches: Let it simmer for a minute, taste for seasoning, and adjust as needed.
Notes
For a lighter option, substitute bacon with sautéed mushrooms or turkey bacon. Leftovers can be reheated by adding a splash of milk or cream.
