Timing is approximate and will depend on how well your pan conducts heat and how brown you like your potatoes.

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS



Southern Fried Potatoes and Onions image

Simple recipe for Southern Fried Potatoes and Onions

Provided by Loaves and Dishes

Categories     Side

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Enough peanut oil to wet the entire bottom of your pan
2 tbs unsalted sweet cream butter
1 lb Idaho (Russet or Red potatoes (I like Reds - but that is just a personal preference))
Salted water
½ medium sized sweet onion (like Vidalia)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garnish with paprika and fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place a heavy 9" cast iron skillet over medium heat (just a little more than medium on my electric stove).
  • Pour oil into the skillet and add the butter as well. Allow this to heat until the oil is shimmery on the surface - not smoking - if it starts to smoke, pull it off the heat and let it cool some until it is shimmery again.
  • Cut up the potatoes into pieces that are the same size - chips or cubes - your choice.
  • As you cut, place into 4 cups of water that has 2 Tbs of salt mixed in.
  • Cut up onion into bigger chunks than you cut the potato.
  • After 5 minutes, drain the potato VERY WELL and dry with paper towels
  • When the oil is ready (shimmery) put the potato and the onion into the oil. Do not crowd the potatoes. If there isn't enough room for them to lay side by side, then let some cook, remove them to drain on a paper towel and then cook the rest.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes on one side then flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes on the other side.
  • Drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper as soon as you remove from the oil
  • Garnish and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm potato variety, such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape better when fried and won't become too mushy.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster, so if you want crispy potatoes, cut them into larger pieces.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water before frying: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give the potatoes a nice crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but make sure it's well-seasoned.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the potatoes to the skillet, make sure they're in a single layer. If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam and won't get crispy.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the potatoes occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Once the potatoes are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily make crispy and delicious fried potatoes and onions at home. This dish is a great side dish for any meal, or it can be enjoyed as a snack. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give this one a try.
