Dampfkartoffeln Boiled Potatoes The German Way Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Wash the potatoes well and dry. If large cut them in half or quarters. Fill a pot with enough water to almost cover potatoes; add salt. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the potatoes.
• 2. Drain water and place the pot back on the hot burner without cover and steam dry for a minute or two, shaking the pot a few times to evaporate the water.
• 3. Peel the potatoes with a sharp knife and place them in a serving dish.
• 4. Pour a little melted butter over potatoes in serving dish and sprinkle with parsley. Then they are called Petersilienkartoffeln (parsleyed potatoes).
• 5. Eat the potatoes by mashing them with a fork on the plate, adding salt, pepper, and a bit of butter or some broth from your meat. Nothing like it! This is Deutsch Kochen! (German cooking)

Steps:

• Sauté the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving as much grease as possible in the pan, and set aside to drain on paper towels.
• In the pan with the bacon fat, sauté the onions until translucent, for about 5 minutes.
• Remove the onions from the pan, leaving behind any remaining bacon fat.
• Add the vegetable oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat.
• Add the potatoes to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and sauté the potatoes until they begin to get a golden crust, 15-20 minutes.
• Return the bacon and cooked onions to the pan and toss gently with the potatoes. Sauté for another 5 minutes, until everything is heated through and golden brown.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!
