This is a really really good recipe however if you watch the show you will see the exact process of making these potatoes that is not in this recipe in particular. You actually have to cool your potatoes down and once they or cooldown you will press them until the skin breaks then you will sautee them in the pan with the bacon drippings and a little added olive oil until they are crispy.<br />Then top them with the crispy bacon and sour cream
