One of our family "breakfast" dishes is Fried potatoes and onions. Made best by my Grandma, it is a dish that my mom made for me and I make for my children. ~ Submitted by Tiffany Schmitt
Fried Potatoes and Onions Ingredients
2.5 lbs of washed and peeled Potatoes (makes a large skillet full). Any kind of potatoes will generally do but we prefer white or salt potatoes)
1 Chopped Sweet (vadalia/white) Onion
2 tbsp garlic salt (adjust to personal taste preferences, I use a ton of garlic salt lol)
Instructions
Coat the bottom of the pan with oil and add about 1-2 tbsp of water and the onions to the pan
Add the garlic salt and pepper the onions a bit
Turn the heat on med-low and cook onions down until clear
Turn heat up a little to around medium & add sliced, peeled potatoes
Season well with garlic salt and pepper and cook down until browned and soft, but "forkable" (you can put a fork in it and eat it).
Note: Sometimes (most of the time) I find it necessary to add water to the pan to keep moisture in there while the potatoes cook, but be cautious as you are mixing oil and water don't add more than 1 tbsp of water to the pan at a time. Once the potatoes are softened I let the water cook-out and brown them.
