Use a whole pound of Leidy's Maple cured bacon.
Cut the package in half, and then cut the strips up into small pieces.
Place bacon pieces into very large pan - 2+ gallon size.
Turn on medium heat. Use large strainer spoon. Stir the bacon a lot to keep it from sticking to the pan.
Cut up half of medium sized onion. Take the skin of the onion off, throw away skin. Create about 1 cup of cut up onion.
Cut up one whole green bell pepper - throw away the inside with seeds.
Bacon should be cooked within the time that it takes to cut up the onion and bell pepper.
Add onion to cook.
After a few minutes, add bell pepper.
Continue stirring every few minutes.
Remove potato peals from approximately 8 medium sized potatoes.
Cut up potatoes into small pieces. Add cut up potatoes in batches when cut up is completed.
If potato has brown spot(s), cut out and salvage good parts of potato.
Potatoes will turn glossy to absorb oil.
Scrape along bottom & edge with spatula with wooden handle to get off anything stuck on pan.
Put cover on to steam potatoes, to help work faster.
10-15 minutes total to cook potatoes.
Add 3 cans of cream corn. Store brand, i.e. Market Basket. Allow to cook.
Add Milk - Whole Milk for creamy. Don't fill all the way to the top of the pan. Don't overdo with the milk - allow the soup to thicken up.
