Steps:
- Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry.
- Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
- Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for skillet potatoes, as they hold their shape well and become crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch cubes or wedges.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel. This will help them to crisp up.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet: This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by cooking a few tablespoons of oil over medium heat for several minutes.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can crisp up properly.
- Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the potatoes regularly: This will ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the potatoes are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, bacon, or chives.
