HOME-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft; about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• 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.

OLD FASHIONED SAVORY CANNED POTATOES MADE EASY

Steps:

• Just cook -- Nothing more. In a medium saute pan saute the butter and olive oil too to get the potatoes nice and brown. I like to pan saute just until lightly brown, they should take 5-8 minutes on medium high. The last minute I add the garlic, seasoning and any other OPTIONS (roasted peppers, pimento, sauteed bacon or scallions) if you desire. You can also add extra butter at this point if you want really buttery potatoes with a little sauce.
• Simple and quick and honestly -- very very good!

• Heat 1/4 cup peanut oil in a large skillet on medium high heat until it's shimmering and almost smoking.
• Add potatoes and let fry for about 2 minutes or until they start to get golden on the bottom.
• Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium. Allow to steam for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove cover and turn the heat back up to medium high. Flip the potatoes. Fry for a minute or two, or until the bottom layer begins to get golden.
• Dump the pan of potatoes into a colander over the sink to remove excess oil and moisture. Blot with a paper towel and return them to the pan on medium heat.
• Add the onion and peppers plus any seasonings you'd like on your potatoes.
• Saute, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and done. Do not cover at this stage of frying because they will get soggy!
• Add the butter at the very end of cooking.
• Taste for seasoning and serve hot with plenty of cracked pepper.
