Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, leaving bacon and 2 tablespoons grease in the pot.

Step 2

Add potatoes and onion to the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add corn, water, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
