Would some sort of substitution still create the ketchup-like sauce you mentioned, or is the bacon grease important? <blockquote>The bacon grease can definitely be omitted from this recipe. Canola oil can be used to saute the onions. The keys to the ketchup like sauce are using either roasted peppers or tomatoes and a pinch of sugar in the cooking liquid added on top of the potatoes. However, that step is a fun place to get creative. I've tastily substituted salsa, enchilada sauce and roasted green peppers in that cooking liquid to great effect! --McAuliflower</blockquote> Sounds mostly tasty to me in theory, but the catch is that while I don’t keep kosher 100%, no bacon for me….
