Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water; season the water with salt and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Transfer the potatoes to a slow cooker.

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning now and then, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Move the bacon slices to a paper towel–lined plate. Crumble the bacon and add it to the potatoes.

Return the skillet to medium heat and warm the bacon drippings. Cook and stir the sweet onions in the drippings until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Pour the onion mixture over the potatoes and bacon.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
