Heat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the bacon slices evenly across. Bake the bacon for 10 minutes, until they've given off a good amount of fat but are not yet crisp. While the bacon is baking, grate the potato on the large holes of a grater into a bowl filled with cold water. Swish the potatoes around vigorously, until the water is murky. Drape a kitchen towel (one you don't care much about) into a strainer in the sink. Pour the potatoes into the strainer and let the water run out. Then gather the ends of the towel and twist and squeeze the potatoes into the sink. Do it a few more times until no more liquid comes out. When the bacon's out of the oven, remove the bacon from the pan and wrap them in a piece of foil to keep warm. Take one tablespoon of the butter and run it around the parchment on the sheet pan so that the parchment is thoroughly greased (this is a protective measure in case your bacon didn't give off much grease). Now sprinkle the grated potato over the parchment so that they resemble spider webs-not clumps. The thinner the layer of potato, the better they'll crisp up evenly. You want to see the sheet pan beneath the potato. Depending on the size of your potato, you may find you have too much to fit on the baking sheet; don't cramp the potato-you will have less hash browns, but they will be better. Sprinkle lightly with salt and return to the oven for 15 minutes, until the bottoms of the potato snowflakes are golden brown. Sometime while the potatoes are cooking, heat the other tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Once melted, turn the heat off. (This is you getting ready for a little multitasking in the next step. If your sheet pan can do it, so can you. The best time to do this is about 5 minutes before your potatoes will come out of the oven, but anytime while the potatoes are in the oven will work.) Take the sheet pan out of the oven and turn the burner under the frying pan to medium-
