This may not be the healthiest, but it is SO good!!! The original recipe came from a little hand-typed Amish cookbook. The only change I made was I added some onion...I love fried potatoes w/ onions!!! HINT: Never use new potatoes...they do not fry well...whites fry better then reds & golds. Ingredients:
6 medium russet potatoes, washed & unpeeled |
1 medium onion, peeled (yellow or white) |
ice water |
salt & pepper, to taste, no other seasoning needed |
3 -4 tablespoons lard (can use crisco, but it changes the taste) |
Directions:
1. Wash the potatoes under cold water & pat dry - cut away any bad spots You can peel them, but I prefer not to.
2. Peel the onion.
3. Thinly slice the potatoes & onion.
4. Add enough ice water to cover & let soak for about 15 minutes.
5. Over medium-high heat, melt the lard (or CRISCO) - cast iron works best.
6. Drain the potatoes/onions & immediately add to the hot grease - BE CAREFUL - THE GREASE WILL SPLATTER!
7. Season as desired.
8. Cover & cook over med.-high heat until soft, stirring often.
9. If potatoes stick, add a little more lard/CRISCO.
