Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces using kitchen shears and set aside. Dice the potatoes and soak in cold water for 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a kitchen towel to ensure they become crispy.

Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the dried potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay.

Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes, stirring often until golden-brown on all sides.

Add the bacon to the skillet with the potatoes and stir, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until crispy.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add minced garlic, sautéing for less than 2 minutes until fragrant.

Drizzle maple syrup over the mixture, toss to coat, and cook for another minute. Adjust seasonings if necessary, and garnish with herbs before serving.
