These are also known to me as Cottage Fries, I believe due to them being sliced. Although I think that title is pretty much out of use.
As I was growing up, these were the first kind of potatoes I learned how to cook. They were a favorite of my mother, and she cooked them often, but usually only plain with basic seasoning.
I am someone who loved bacon, so you know this will be popular with me. And adding onion really does fill out the flavor. I do use the garlic powder purposefully. It keeps having minced garlic overcook and become bitter or burn.
