Fried Potatoes
Deliciously flavored Fried Potatoes is an old-fashioned recipe based on the way my Grandma used to prepare potatoes. It's wonderful for breakfast or as a side dish. We like to serve it for big country-style weekend breakfasts or holiday breakfasts. It's sumptuous comfort food as well as being hearty, filling and satisfying. Gluten free.
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium to large red potatoes cubed, or about 4 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 bell pepper any color
- 3-4 green onions sliced or 1/2 cup diced red onion or yellow onion
- 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup) or substitute avocado oil or lard

- 1/2 to 1 tsp. paprika or more, as desired
- 1/2 to 1 tsp. dill weed or more, as desired

- Add potatoes, bell pepper and green onions.
- Sprinkle seasonings on potatoes in amounts desired.
- Sauté potatoes in skillet covered with lid
- Turn potatoes with spatula every 5 minutes to make sure potatoes don’t scorch.

- (Depending on the heat about 25-30 minutes or so).
Notes
NOTE: While I mix and match the seasonings sometimes, I usually add all of the seasonings listed here. I highly recommend you don't leave out either the paprika or the dill weed because they provide such wonderful, savory flavors.
NOTE: Substitute avocado oil for the butter if you're trying to keep the recipe vegan.
NOTE: Grandma made her fried potatoes with onions, salt, pepper and lard. She sliced her potatoes.
