Home Fried Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
1 large POTATO
2-3 Tbsp BACON FAT
1/3 cup ONION (finely chopped)
¼ cup GREEN BELL PEPPER (finely chopped, optional)
HOT PEPPER (to taste, finely chopped)
1 tsp SMOKED PAPRIKA
SALT and PEPPER to taste
Directions:
In a skillet, fry up 4-5 pieces of fatty bacon, this will give you enough grease to cook up your potatoes.
Peel your potato, which is something I hate to say, ’cause potato skin is so delicious….but the breakfast home fries I grew up with were peeled, so that’s how I gotta roll.
Dice your potato into dinky cubes; they don’t have to be exactly the same same, but mostly they do, so cut them as uniformly as possible.
Add your diced potato to the skillet of hot grease–and by hot, I mean that your potatoes start to sizzle and cook when they hit the pan–but not overly hot, ’cause it will take 20-25 minutes to cook these potatoes up just right. Medium-low heat is a good temp…keep the potatoes sizzling, they need to crisp on the outside, but they also need to cook through on the inside, otherwise you’ll end up with a buch of crispy, raw potato; so go slow, amigo.
Mix your potatoes with the grease and spread them out in the skillet and let them brown for about 5 minutes.
Add finely chopped onion and hot peppers–if desired, also add a little finely chopped green bell pepper for taste and color–I usually do, but if I don’t have it on hand, it’s not the end of the world…it’s just breakfast, man.
Mix the ingredients well and spread out in the skillet and let cook another 5 minutes.
Add paprika, stir and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionaly, until the potatoes are cooked through and done to the desired crispness.
The key is to not cook the potatoes too fast.

As a vegetarian, is it okay to use olive oil?
If this is your breakfast, you should take aspirin and a statin
prophylactically…

little first, but I’ll give this method a shot.

I dont really know that much about cooking, but isn’t Bacon Fat like really
deadly?
You don’t have to boil the taters first just take your time and do it
correct like the man said it takes a little patience to do it right.
you can hear that new orleans accent strong son
No, no, no. You have to cut and boil the potatoes first so they are soft.
THEN stir fry the things in bacon fat (and butter). Salt and pepper only.
Christ, why make things so difficult by cooking from raw?
Just tried this recipe. Great!
