GERMAN FRIED POTATOES



German Fried Potatoes image

My Grandmother got this recipe when she and my mom lived in Germany. This is my all time favorite way to fix potatoes.

Provided by chris_tam

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs potatoes, any kind
1 lb bacon, maple flavored, cut in 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, diced
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
1 cup olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Wash potatoes.
  • Sometimes I peel the potatoes and sometimes I don't. It's good either way.
  • Slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices.
  • I take frozen bacon because it's easier to cut and cut strips down the side to get my one inch pieces.
  • Put enough olive oil in a large deep skillet (cast iron is good) to cover bottom of pan about 1/4 inch deep. Add all of the potatoes to the pan, along with cut up bacon which hasn't been cooked yet; diced onions, parsley and salt and pepper.
  • Cook on medium high heat, stirring and watching so that potatoes don't burn because they will stick to the bottom of pan as they are cooking and you will need to scrape them up as they are browning.
  • You can cover the pan for the first 20 minutes of cooking and cook on low and then turn up the heat for the last 15 minutes or so in order to brown some of the potatoes.
  • Good with steaks and a salad.
  • Estimated on servings time to make.

GERMAN POTATOES WITH PEAS, CARROTS, AND CORN



German Potatoes With Peas, Carrots, and Corn image

Kartoffelgemüse mit Erbsen, Mohrrüben und Mais in German. Potatoes accompany many German meals. You'll often find a side of carrots and peas in a creamy sauce on your plate as well. It makes a very tasty combination together with potatoes. So it 's not surprising that someone thought of a recipe that combines both of these sides in one dish. Not only is it tasty but it is also easy to make and you'll only end up with only one dirty pan. As a little bonus, you'll also find some corn added to this dish. I've changed the dish to use vegetable broth instead of water to give more flavor but it's good with the water too.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Choose firm and evenly sized potatoes for even cooking. Waxy varieties like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape well, while russets are ideal for mashing.
  • Parboil Potatoes for Crispy Results: Before roasting or frying, parboiling potatoes helps achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior. Simply boil the potatoes until they are partially cooked, drain them, and then continue with the recipe.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with seasonings! Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and herbs like rosemary or thyme are all great options. Toss the potatoes in olive oil or melted butter before seasoning to ensure even coating.
  • Cook at High Temperatures: High heat is key to creating crispy and flavorful potatoes. Roast potatoes at 425°F (220°C) or higher, and fry them at 350°F (175°C) or higher.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When roasting or frying potatoes, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding will result in soggy potatoes.
  • Flip or Stir Potatoes During Cooking: To ensure even cooking and prevent burning, flip or stir the potatoes occasionally during roasting or frying.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: For mashed potatoes, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the potatoes are cooked to the desired temperature (212°F or 100°C). This prevents overcooking and ensures a smooth and creamy texture.

Conclusion:

German potatoes are a versatile and delicious addition to any meal. Whether you prefer them roasted, fried, mashed, or in a salad, there's a recipe out there to suit your taste. With the right techniques and a little practice, you can master the art of cooking German potatoes and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills.
