Moms Fried Potatoes And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in large cast iron skillet. Mix potatoes, onion, garlic, green & red bell peppers & parsley if using in a large bowl. Rinse under cold water.
• 2. Carefully add mixture to hot oil. Season with salt and pepper. Lower heat , and stir to make sure it is not sticking first, then cover with lid. Cook for at least 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occassionally to prevent sticking or burning on bottom.
• 3. If it begins to stick add about 1/4 cup of water and stir. Cover & continue to cook until potatoes are done. When fully cooked sprinkle shredded cheese over top. Cover with lid and allow cheese to melt. Serve while still hot.
• 4. Please Note: You can garnish the top with chopped parsley, chopped chive, and even add eggs while they are in the skillet, cover with the lid and allow them to cook before serving. If you really like cheese, you can add more if desired. Yes the recipe is in my cookbook.

Steps:

• 1. Wash the potatoes and slice the potatoes and onions. Put the potatoes and onions in a hot large sillet. Cook the potatoes and onions for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Put the potatoes and onions on a paper towel lined down on a platter. Sprinkle salt and pepper on potatoes and onions.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a skillet. Add the onions and cook until soft and lightly browned. Remove the onions from the pan and reserve.
• Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Add them to the hot pan and brown on both sides.
• Return the onion to the pan, toss and season. Serve warm.

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.
