Moms Fried Potatoes Recipes

MOM'S FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Step 1 1) Heat pan over medium heat, add fat, wait 30 seconds and add potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Step 2 2) Fry covered over medium heat for 10 minutes. This will soften the potatoes and brown them on the first side.
• Step 3 3) Remove cover and flip the potatoes with a spatula to the other side (as best you can) and brown the other side for 8 minutes or until desired doneness.
• Step 4 4) My favorite is to serve these with broiled fish or breakfast, but they go well with anything.

MOM'S FRIED POTATOES

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.

EASY FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the butter in a pan (I use a stick free, the butter is for taste) and melt.

• Add salt and pepper sometime during frying time, to taste.

• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add potato cubes, salt, paprika and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned; about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, green peppers and parsley and cook for another minute. Serve hot.
