VERY CRISPY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Peel and cube or wedge the potatoes.
• Place cubes in ice water and add salt. Let sit in ice water about 10-15 minutes.
• Heat oil in skillet.
• Get flour ready in flat bottomed pan so you can dredge wet potato wedges when they are done soaking.
• While oil is heating, in a colander drain potatoes.
• Flip potato pieces into the flour in pan and dredge until all sides of potato are well coated.
• When oil is hot put potato cubes or wedges into oil and fry. Fry until beginning to be golden, then turn and brown on other sides the same way.
• **Note: As potatoes fry you can cover them temporarily to increase heat -the secret to crispiness is leave them long enough on each side to form a little crust before turning them. The other secret will be frying the potatoes twice over, letting them cool in between. I find it helps to use tongs and a fork and individually flip the potato cubes or wedges so they all get browned evenly, but that is up to you. I also flip them all with spatula from time to to time.
• When browned and lightly crisped remove from oil and drain on paper towel.
• While potatoes are cooling heat oil back up and fry bell pepper and onion in same oil medium high heat.
• Fry veggies until onion starts to turn brown and golden around edges but don't let them turn too dark.
• Remove fried veggies and drain on paper towel. Lower heat temporarily while you thoroughly remove all fried vegetable pieces from hot oil.
• Add a little more oil and turn heat back up to get it hot.
• (Watch and have lid ready to protect yourself in case of "spitting" oil from moisture in vegetables in oil, until it boils off. Can lower heat a touch if gets too bad).
• Now, to the hot oil add back the once-fried crisp coated potatoes -- and fry again same way until the potatoes have formed a nice, brown crust on all sides.
• When potatoes are medium dark golden and just right (crispy enough), add back the onion and bell pepper to the crispy potatoes.
• Fry together for a very short time then remove before they burn. Vegetables burn relatively quickly so don't fry them long, then quickly remove all from oil and let drain on paper towels. Re-season the potatoes with pepper and onion, checking for garlic powder and saltiness to be just right.
• You are ready to eat. I like to set the potatoes aside in warm place covered with paper towel and fry eggs to go over the top of the potatoes when served.
• When ready to serve, if potatoes have cooled off too much, gently reheat in microwave real quickly.
• Enjoy.
