Ingredients

2 tablespoons bacon drippings or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup green sweet pepper, diced

1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch slices

Steps:

Add the bacon drippings or olive oil to a large skillet. Preheat over medium heat until the drippings or oil is just hot. Add the diced onion and diced green sweet pepper. Cook the onion and pepper until they're tender.

Cover and cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender, turning potatoes once or twice.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups skin-on red potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups whole baby carrots, fresh or frozen
2 cups whole green beans, frozen
2 cups whole wax beans, frozen
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups (1 pound) cooked, diced ham or cooked smoked sausage, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lard or your favorite cooking oil
Paprika, garlic, and pepper to taste

Steps:

Starting with the vegetable that takes the longest to cook (depending on whether you precook the potatoes or carrots), stir-fry everything in the hot oil in a preheated wok or large skillet. Park cooks use lard to make this stir-fry, but vegetable oil is used in the cooking classes. If you want traditional Silver Dollar City taste, stick with lard. In the park, the potatoes are thinly sliced and stir-fried raw, but the cooking class suggests precooking the potatoes and carrots in the microwave oven for faster stir-frying. Frozen vegetables should be thawed.

CALICO POTATOES

One time when we went to Silver Dollar City they had something similar to this there, but it had sausage in it. I came up with my version minus the sausage to be used as a side dish.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
2 or 3 large baking potatoes (you want about an equal amount of each type of potato)
1 med or large green pepper/red pepper
1 large sweet onion
1 stick butter or marjarine
4 tsp salt (more if needed)
1 tsp pepper

Steps:

1. Peel all potatoes. In large pan fitted with a lid, melt the stick of butter/marjarine on low heat. While butter is melting, cut all potatoes into chunks (whatever your size preference, but the larger the longer to cook).
2. Add potatoes to melted butter and mix well to coat. Cut peppers and onion into chunks as well and add to potatoes. Again, mix to coat.
3. Cover pot over med/low heat to prevent scorching and stir occasionally. Test for tenderness of potatoes. Remove lid when tender to brown slightly if you wish.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding and ensure they cook evenly.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking and will give them a nice crispy crust.
Don't stir the potatoes too often: Stirring them too often will prevent them from getting crispy.
Add the cheese and bacon at the end: This will prevent them from burning.

Conclusion:

Calico skillet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give calico skillet potatoes a try.
