German-Style Fried Potatoes
I cannot vouch for these being German style, sounds like fried potatoes with bacon, but it does sound good, and I do like the part of boiling the potatoes first. On my to cook list. This would be a good side with grilled brats, chicken, or about any dish.
Ingredients
- 750 grams small potatoes, skin on, boiled, then place in the fridge overnight, (1½ lb)
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 slices bacon, cut into cubes
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the cold potatoes into thin ⅛ inch thick slices, then set aside.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large frying pan and heat gently. Fry the onions until soft then add the bacon pieces. Continue frying till the bacon and onions are lightly browned then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Set aside.
- 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. Serve as a side dish.
