Quick Fried Potato Recipes

EASY FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the butter in a pan (I use a stick free, the butter is for taste) and melt.
• Add potatoes, and turn over every few minutes until brown. Not all need to be brown, but make sure they are cooked through. Usually takes about 15 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper sometime during frying time, to taste.

PAN FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I used this cast iron skillet, but any skillet will do.
• Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-15 until the potatoes are browned slightly around the edges and cooked halfway through.
• Season liberally with salt and pepper. Then gently stir in the onions. Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes stirring frequently until the potatoes are tender and browned.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

FRIED POTATOES AND ONION RECIPE

Steps:

• PREPARE AND PRE-COOK POTATOES: Pierce each potato once or twice with a sharp knife. Cook in microwave on High for 6-8 minutes until tender and a knife can easily slide into potato. If potatoes are large, this might take an extra few minutes. Transfer to cutting board and cut potatoes into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes.
• PAN FRY POTATOES: Heat oil in large skillet to medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and fry undisturbed for 4 minutes. Sprinkle with half of salt and pepper. Flip potatoes and fry on second side for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden brown with a crispy crust. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Timing is approximate and will depend on how well your pan conducts heat and how brown you like your potatoes.
• ADD ONIONS TO FINISH: Add chopped green onions. Stir for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
