Pan fried spuds, favorite ways?

Seasoned with salt,pepper and garlic powder along with caramelized onions
extra crispy on the outside and tender inside

Thanks for this carb filled moment

A little diced up bell pepper in there don't hurt none either.

I make em for deer camp..bacon,onions fresh ground pepper and top each serving with two sunny side up fried eggs.

Men, pealed, diced, sliced, red, russets?

Reds or Yukon gold skins on are my pref and definitely sliced.

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

This -

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

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.

Sliced like half dollars, then pan fry in bacon grease add onion, garlic, and Lawry's seasoning salt to taste. Crisp on the outside, soft in the center.

Cover em with some roasted chicken drip gravy.....Ahhhh

Ooops, sorry, I don't qualify....

Miss Lynn though always a lady you have an honorary man card
please proceed

Big ugly Kennebek potatoes sliced thin on the mandoline with Kosher salt and onion powder as well as sweet onions added to the pan.

I'll amend that Lynn, "Ladies, and germs"?

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.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, that is so sweet

Thank you *HUGS*

LOL.....Saw that but walked away!

There is a newer potato out named "Rooster" and I tell you for not being a potato guy those things are great! Think it's of Irish descent.....Anyway I've been picking em up at Sams.

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.

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 fry some slab bacon to crispiness, pull it out and fry thinly sliced tators for a bit in the grease and then add onion and the crumbled bacon back in and finish it off with a few cracked eggs.

left over baked potatoes make great home fries or fried potatoes.

Campfire fried potatoes with onions wrapped in tinfoil are the best!!

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.

with onions,shot of oldbay and a splash of malt vinegar. for fast fried taters i use diced can potatoes sometimes. they are great for breakfast.

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!!

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.

french fries are NOT fried taters

What are they then, fried sardines?

French fries and hash browns are great fried potatoes...just about any other variation is good too.

French fries are deep fried taters strips,hash browns are shredded taters, home fries are cubed up taters
Fried potatoes are sliced thin and fried

To me home fries and fried taters are the same.

French fries almost aren't taters!

Home fries



Fried Potatoes

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.

Thanks for the clarification Dan. looks damn good both ways!

all french fries are is a waste of good taters.

They all end up the same!.....LOL
