Garbage Fried Potatoes Food

BUTTER FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt 4 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir potatoes until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in another skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until garlic is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir onion mixture into potatoes.
• Cook and stir potatoes and onion until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes more.

CRISPY FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Combine the potatoes, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons salt and enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a paper towel?lined plate with a slotted spoon; gently blot dry (it?s OK if some of the potatoes crumble). Let cool completely.
• Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Melt the schmaltz in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (you should have about 2 inches in the pot) and heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the potatoes until browned and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to the rack with a slotted spoon and immediately sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in the oven between batches.
• Add the parsley and sage leaves to the hot schmaltz and fry a few seconds until just crisp. Remove to a paper towel?lined plate with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with salt. Top the potatoes with the fried herbs.

HOME-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft; about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add potato cubes, salt, paprika and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned; about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, green peppers and parsley and cook for another minute. Serve hot.

PAN-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt bacon fat.
• Add onions and saute 2-3 minutes.
• Add potatoes, salt, and paprika (there should be enough to make potatoes almost orange).
• Fry, covered, over medium heat until soft and tender.
• If it starts sticking and forming a crust on the bottom, turn the heat down and add a little water.

FRIED POTATOES AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Put a large skillet on the stove on Med High. Put oil in the pan and add the chopped onions and garlic. Peel and cube the potatoes. The smaller the cube the less cooking time. Add salt and pepper to season accordingly to your taste. Turn the potatoes every few minutes till they are browned on all sides. Slice the smoked sausage (I use the skinless with cheese inside) and add to the pan. Cover then stir every few minutes. We like the meat really browned so I turn up the heat to high till the sausage slices are the right color.
• Serve with a salad and some sweet tea, and you have the perfect midweek meal.

FRIED POTATOES WITH OREGANO AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add potatoes, onion, oregano, salt, and pepper and reduce heat to moderate. Cook, covered, stirring and turning potatoes over occasionally, until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook, stirring and turning potatoes over 3 or 4 times, until browned and crusty, 8 to 10 minutes more. Add salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a shallow bowl and sprinkle with cheese.
