I never use as much onion as recommended in a recipe. And SLICE the potatoes? No wonder they fell apart. Cube them next time, and after they're cooking about 15 minutes, pierce them with a knife or fork to see if they're soft.

Too much bacon? Damn right, there is no such thing!!! I'm with you on that one! But 6 CLOVES of garlic? Oh, my. That's a lot. I don't think I could eat that. I would have been happy with two, I think.
