CRISPY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes. Cut onion into 2 or 3 slices, then cut rings in half and separate the layers.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed potatoes to the hot skillet and season with garlic salt and seasoned salt. Spread them out evenly over the bottom and allow to cook for 5 to 8 minutes without turning. Turn, and continue cooking, turning every 5 to 8 minutes, until evenly browned.
• When potatoes have reached the desired color, add onion. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until onion is slightly cooked, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
• Carefully remove potatoes and onions from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool for 2 to 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Heat the remaining bacon fat and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until well browned on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes in small sections, and continue cooking, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes or until well browned. Stir in the onions, heat through, and sprinkle with the parsley and cayenne, if desired. Transfer to a warm platter and crumble the bacon on top, serve. Copyright 2005 Television Food Network, G.P.
