Don't forget to put some shredded pepper jack, or cheddar on it just after you turn the heat off.

Y'all are trying to get too fancy with a food that is good just plain. Cut up potato's in bacon grease with salt and pepper. A little milk gravy at serving is good. Another option is same potato's, with pinto beans and cornbread. A sweet onion and/or pickled cayenne pepper. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Regular Idaho potatoes. Cut them lengthwise in quarters, then slice those. Parboil, then into the skillet with olive oil. Cook until crispy. Near the end, I add salt, black pepper, and hot Hungarian Paprika. Onions don't hurt anything either.

my heathen' way of dealing with taters is to microwave the hell out of them the night before.
then slice, with skin on (because of the fiber), and fry in peanut oil, or whatever ya got.
if i'm gonna do all that, i'll add sliced vidalia's nearly every time.
and if i've gone that far, i'll finish it with a layer of sharp cheddar on top. fry some eggs and bacon and your done. no bisquits cause that's too much carbos for the meal.
if the wimmen folks want to eat with us they can, but no complaining about ketchup over the top of the taters.

We did a different take on fried taters last Saturday,
Sliced some reds, fried some bacon, made some aluminum foil boxes, oiled the foil added the raw potatoes, bacon some "minced" onion, sprinkled some onion soup powder and topped with cheese. Sealed them up and cooked @ 350 for about 45 minutes.
It was a nice change.

Another option is same potato's, with pinto beans and cornbread. A sweet onion and/or pickled cayenne pepper. miles Yup---growing up and still to this day I can walk into my Mothers kitchen and supper will consist of fried potatoes, pinto beans, corn bread and wilted lettuce using hot bacon grease and vinegar. No complaints!! If we were lucky we would get a baked apple or canned bartlett pear with a dollop of mayo and maraschino cherry op top. If not, it was corn bread and milk for dessert...

What do they say about something else? "It's all good, some just better than others".
My mother talked about the early days of their marriage. "We ate potatoes, and eggs. When we got tiered of that, we had eggs, and potatoes".

russets, 1/4" slices, equal amount of onions also sliced 1/4" thick. start them out covered in the largest cast iron skillet you have with some bacon grease and butter, once their semi cooked thru- pull off the lid and raise the heat. try to leave them be till they brown on the bottom. Turn them over once and let the top brown, season with salt pepper (we use a cajun seasoning called ragin blaze).
Use the biggest skillet you have.

Chopped russets into 1/2" squares, thrown in the microwave for a bit to soften, tossed in a pan with butter, fried 'til brown and crisp, dump onto dish, salt and pepper. Growing up my Mother would often make them for movie night. No popcorn in our house.

I love them, but in order to cook more than a toothful, a person needs a frying pan at least six feet in diameter and a stove big enough to heat it.

Not fried but good:
Preheat oven to 400�
1.5 - 2 lbs of potatoes, cubed with skin on. 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
optional: some garlic powder some onion powder italian seasoning flakes or tyme, rosemary, basil etc....
Use whatever you like and adjust seasonings to suit your own taste and the amount of potatoes used. No hard fast rules here. The important thing is the parmesan and maybe increase salt and pepper for 2 pounds or more.
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, dump in taters and stir around getting them all well coated.
Spoon 'em into a shallow baking pan, one layer and bake until golden brown and tender, about 45 mins - 1 hour.
About 10-15 minutes before pulling them out, I usually sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top.
Them's some fine taters!!

left over baked potatoes make great home fries or fried potatoes.
And when used in making soup, such as potato, bacon and leek soup, they lend a full bodied flavour that stands up to to the smokiness of the bacon and the heady sweet bite of leeks.

Big cast iron skillet. Sliced raw potatoes, onion or not. Nice and brown piled on a plate covered with homemade ketchup or chili sauce, add ham slice and iced tea. Damn I feel bad for the rich people at supper tonight.
