Moms Fried Potatoes And Onions Recipes

MOM'S FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and spread evenly in the pan. Cook undisturbed until the potatoes are golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes.
• 2. Carefully turn the potatoes to ensure even browning and add the onion to the skillet. Continue cooking, turning the potato and onion mixture every few minutes, until the potatoes are well browned and the onion is softened and carmelizing, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
• 3. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

UNCLE BILL'S FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick or thinner.
• Slice onion thinly.
• In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, melt butter, add olive oil.
• Add sliced potatoes and onions, cover and fry for 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes and onions over so they do not break apart. If potatoes appear too dry, add some additional butter.
• Sprinkle with granulated garlic powder, dried dill weed, salt and pepper and continue to fry with cover removed for another 5 minutes or until potatoes begin to turn slightly brown; turning occasionally.
• Serve hot with your meal.
• Note: You may use 2 or 3 large garlic cloves (chopped small), instead of granulated garlic powder. Add to the potatoes after the first 10 minutes of cooking time.

MOM'S FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel, and then slice the potatoes twice the thickness of a quarter.
• In a large bowl, place the potatoes and the sliced onions in plenty of cold tap water as to cover them -- allow them to soak for an hour.
• In a large no-stick skillet (or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet), add the shortening and allow it to get hot over medium-high heat.
• Drain the potatoes/onion and pat them dry some with paper towels. Drips of water will cause the hot oil to pop out on you. Carefully add the potatoes/onions to the hot shortening, spreading them out in the skillet.
• DO NOT TURN OR STIR THE POTATOES FOR THE NEXT 10-12 MINUTES! Go ahead and add the seasonings after putting the potatoes in the skillet. Fry mostly covered for the first 10-12 minutes but just crack the lid off to the side a bit as to allow steam to escape.
• After the time has elapsed, use a spatula to peek at the bottom layer and if they are brown and crispy, go ahead and turn the potatoes ONE TIME. Finish frying UNCOVERED for about 10 more minutes.
• Transfer them to a serving plate that has a couple of paper towels on it.
• Serve with hot biscuits and/or brown soup beans. These potatoes are also great with fried eggs.
• NOTE: I make sandwiches out of leftover potatoes that have been in the fridge.
