How To Make Perfect Fried Potatoes Every Time

Now when you live in the country every cafe, school, and social gathering seems to include everyone's own twist on Fried Potatoes but many of them are left with the potatoes being over cooked on the outside and not done on the inside. Not wanting to risk my hubby's potential hmmm review of my fried potatoes I usually see on his face when we eat them out, I have my own way of mastering cooking them and I'm going to share it with you.
Now figure 2 small potatoes and 1 onion per person. You can use any kind of onion but I prefer them yellow and sweet.
Cutting the potatoes to bite size pieces is very important in order to make sure the potatoes get tender while cooking.
I like to cut my onions into a little bit bigger pieces than the potatoes because they shrink. Yep, onions shrink.
Olive Oil tastes the best to me and make sure to do this step.
Fill your skillet so the whole bottom is coated in Olive Oil and set your temperature to high.
Give it a couple of minutes to warm up and go to your sink and run your hand under some cold water.
Stand back from your skillet and shake your hand forward and if it sizzles it's ready. Don't go shaking water over the pan while your standing right there next to it you have to stand back for it to be safe. Trust me water travels. Pretend you are six and playing in the bathroom.
Cover the bottom of the pan with your potatoes and onions. Then coat them in salt and pepper. I always coat mine in the pan it seems to stick better.
You have to use your spatula to keep flipping the potatoes over so they are well coated and not burning. It takes a good 10-15 minutes of cooking and flipping but you will have the best fried potatoes ever.
Set your potatoes on a plate covered with paper towels to let some of the oil drain off and serve them right up.
If you like drain the oil into a bowl and reduce the heat on your stove top to medium and crack some eggs right in the pan. They will be the best eggs you have ever eaten and serve them right up along with your potatoes.
Happy Frying
Pssst...... What's your favorite breakfast food?
Make sure to come back Friday and all weekend. There are so many good things starting on the blog.
