SOUTHERN FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS RECIPE

Steps:

• Add vegetable oil and real butter to a 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
• As soon as the butter melts add the potatoes and top with chopped onions, and salt, and pepper. I add about a teaspoon each.
• Cover with a lid and cook for 10-minutes.
• Remove cover after 10 minutes.
• Flip the potatoes to cook a bit on the other side with the lid off. They should be fork tender.
• Keep cooking until you get golden brown that makes you happy then remove from heat.

MAMA'S COUNTRY FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in large cast iron skillet. Mix potatoes, onion, garlic, green & red bell peppers & parsley if using in a large bowl. Rinse under cold water.
• 2. Carefully add mixture to hot oil. Season with salt and pepper. Lower heat , and stir to make sure it is not sticking first, then cover with lid. Cook for at least 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occassionally to prevent sticking or burning on bottom.
• 3. If it begins to stick add about 1/4 cup of water and stir. Cover & continue to cook until potatoes are done. When fully cooked sprinkle shredded cheese over top. Cover with lid and allow cheese to melt. Serve while still hot.
• 4. Please Note: You can garnish the top with chopped parsley, chopped chive, and even add eggs while they are in the skillet, cover with the lid and allow them to cook before serving. If you really like cheese, you can add more if desired. Yes the recipe is in my cookbook.
