- Cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces and roll them carefully in your floured palm for a noodle shape. Repeat with the remainder of the dough.

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart during cooking.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes: This will help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Season the potatoes generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the potatoes in a hot oven: This will help them crisp up on the outside and stay tender on the inside.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help them cook evenly.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
German potatoes are a versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect German potatoes every time.
