Recipe Notes

If you want crispy bacon bits, considering frying bacon in a pan first and topping it after potatoes are grilled. 

From my experiments I noticed, grilling potatoes along with raw bacon in oven did not turn it into crispy bits. They were cooked and turned slightly brown but not crispy.
