Southern Fried Potatoes Recipes

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS RECIPE

Steps:

• Add vegetable oil and real butter to a 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
• As soon as the butter melts add the potatoes and top with chopped onions, and salt, and pepper. I add about a teaspoon each.
• Cover with a lid and cook for 10-minutes.
• Remove cover after 10 minutes.
• Flip the potatoes to cook a bit on the other side with the lid off. They should be fork tender.
• Keep cooking until you get golden brown that makes you happy then remove from heat.
• Adjust seasoning and serve!

SOUTHERN-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Fry potato chunks in hot oil in a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat 12 minutes, turning often.
• Add onion, and cook 5 more minutes. Remove mixture to a serving bowl, using a slotted spoon.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• This is rustic cooking at its best. Leave the skins on the potatoes, if you'd prefer. They'll fry crispy brown and save you a step, too.
• A cast iron skillet is an inexpensive investment. Foods cooked in it absorb iron, which will increase the amount of iron you consume.
