PAN FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I used this cast iron skillet, but any skillet will do.
• Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-15 until the potatoes are browned slightly around the edges and cooked halfway through.
• Season liberally with salt and pepper. Then gently stir in the onions. Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes stirring frequently until the potatoes are tender and browned.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

DAD'S KENTUCKY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Heat the bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and onion, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

SKILLET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the butter; when melted, add the garlic and cook until soft but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Slice the potatoes on a mandoline set to 3mm (about the thickness of 3 credit cards). Place the potatoes in a large bowl; add the melted garlic butter and sprinkle with salt. Toss well to ensure all the slices are coated.
• Place the skillet used for the butter over low heat. Carefully layer the potato slices in the skillet, overlapping them in a circular pattern starting from the edge of the skillet and working towards the center. Continue until you have about five layers of potatoes.
• Set a medium pot lid (6 to 8 inches wide) on directly on top of the potatoes. Then place a heavy pot on top of the lid to weight it down. Adjust the heat to medium-low and cook for about 15 minutes on the stovetop, then transfer to the oven and bake until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, another 15 minutes. (You can use a spatula to peek at the bottom to make sure it's golden brown.)
• Remove the skillet from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 15 minutes. Remove the pot and lid, and place a plate upside down on the skillet. Using oven mitts, carefully turn the skillet over to release the potatoes onto the plate. Garnish with thyme leaves and serve.

CRISPY POTATO STACKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a microwave or small saucepan over medium-low heat. Set aside.
• Slice the russets and sweet potatoes 1/16-inch thick using a mandoline and place in a bowl. Toss the potato slices with the butter, herbs, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper until the potatoes are evenly coated. Layer the potatoes evenly in the prepared muffin tin, stacking them one on top of the other until they are about 1 inch above the top of each muffin cup. Bake until the edges of the potatoes are golden and crispy, about 25 minutes.
• Let cool 5 minutes, then run a small offset spatula or butter knife around the edge of each stack to help them release. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.

SPICED OVEN-FRIED POTATOES

Roast until golden brown on the bottom, 30 minutes, then flip and sprinkle with 1 sliced garlic clove and 1 teaspoon each ancho chile powder and dried oregano. Roast 15 more minutes.

PERFECT FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until just fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes; this will allow the potatoes to steam and release excess moisture.
• In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne and onion powder.
• Fill a large Dutch oven with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Carefully add half the potatoes and fry until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Right before removing the potatoes, add a sprig of rosemary and half the sliced garlic to the oil and cook for 15 seconds. With a fine-mesh strainer, remove the batch to a medium bowl. Toss with half of the seasoning mix, then transfer to a paper towel-line baking sheet to drain. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, rosemary, garlic and seasoning mix.

OVEN-BAKED POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place potatoes, garlic powder, black pepper, celery seed, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt into a zip-top bag. Shake to coat evenly.
• Pour entire contents of bag onto a large baking sheet and spread evenly. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes reach desired crispness, turning frequently to brown evenly, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly and pour into a serving dish.

DAD'S FAVOURITE FRIED POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• Wash, peel and slice a medium-sized potato into thin concentric circles.
• Make sure you slice the potato thin and not thick.
• Pour 2 1/2 cups of water in a bowl.
• Add salt to taste (2-3 tsps) and mix well.
• Add the potato slices to this salted water.
• Mix well.
• Keep aside for 10 minutes.
• In a medium sized bowl, make a thick batter with your besan flour, red chilli powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of water.
• Now drain out the water from the potato slices.
• Dip the slices of potato in the gramflour batter.
• Allow the slices to be coated with the batter on both sides.
• Heat oil in a frying pan while you are doing this.
• Once the oil is hot, and the slices are ready, drop them gently into the oil.
• I ALWAYS make it a point to lower the flame/heat when adding the slices of potato to the hot oil.
• I dont want ANY MORE spillovers or kitchen fires!
• Let the slices fry in the oil.
• Once the slices are golden brown on one side, turn over and allow them to fry the same way till they are golden brown on the other side.
• Remove from the pan once fried and drain the excess oil on a clean paper kitchen towel.
• Transfer to a serving plate.
• Serve immediately (HOT) with Tomato ketchup and white/potato bread.
• You can also serve this with green chutney.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: The secret of making this very well is to slice the potato thin and not thick.
• If you slice the potato thick, then, the potato will not cook and remain raw even once fried!

HEARTY FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add potatoes and onions and cook until browned. Add mushrooms, tomatoes, and peppers, stir to combine, and saute until mushrooms have softened. Transfer mixture to a sizzle or heat-proof platter and cover with cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and biscuits, if desired.

GRANNY'S FRIED POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• You have to wash the potatoes before using them and then either peel them or leave skin on, then slice them across width ways into slices.
• Mix the salt, baking, flour together in a mixing bowl, gradually add the water to it until it is the consistency of batter.
• Preheat enough cooking oil in the either deepest frying pan you have or deep fryer to properly cook the potato slices.
• Dip the potato slices into the batter you have made until coated on both sides and then place in the hot cooking oil and fry until golden brown and cooked. Then serve them.
