• Sprinkle the potatoes with the onions and bacon and let them cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
• Flip them when they become golden brown on the underside, but don't stir them.

• Remove the onions from the pan, leaving behind any remaining bacon fat.

VEGETARIAN BRATKARTOFFELN (GERMAN FRIED POTATOES) W/ FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in their skins until they are cooked, but not too soft (about 10-15 minutes), then peel and dice them.
• In a skillet fry the onions in oil for a minute then add the vegetarian sausages or bacon if using it. Remove the sausages and onions from the skillet and set aside.
• Fry the diced potatoes by laying the potatoes flat against the pan (you may need to use two pans if yours isn't large enough for all of them to lay flat and touch the pan) with oil and let them stand without mixing until they turn golden brown which should be after 3 or more minutes. After they turn golden brown flip the potatoes to the other side to do the same thing.
• Once both sides are golden brown, add the onions and veggie sausage or vege bacon if using it, mix and then add the feta cheese stirring only once carefully.
• Once the cheese has melted you are finished cooking the Bratkartoffeln.

GERMAN FRIED POTATOES

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.

PAN-FRIED POTATOES (BRATKARTOFFELN)

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into evenly thick slices (about 3/16 in ).
• Use a large pan that will hold potatoes in a single layer or use two pans.
• Heat oil over medium high heat.
• If using bacon and onion fry together until onion is translucent.
• Add potatoes, stir once to mix and then be patient!
• DON'T stir until potatoes are nicely golden brown on the bottom, 3-5 minutes, only check for color occasionally.
• Sprinkle with half the salt. Use less salt when using bacon.
• Turn and fry the same way on the other side until nicely gold-brown.
• You might need to add a little more oil to the pan if all the oil is soaked up by the potatoes.
• Taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Continue frying till the bacon and onions are lightly browned then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Set aside for now. Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan and fry the potato slices over a low/medium heat, turning them occasionally. Allow them to brown lightly on one side before turning, repeating the process till most of the potatoes are golden brown. Once the potatoes are almost done, return the onion and bacon mix to the pan, season with salt and plenty of black pepper, then continue frying over a medium heat till everything is nicely browned.
