While they don't get the same love as French fries, home fries, or steak fries, cottage fries more than hold their own against their potato side dish fraternity brothers.

Steps:
- Wash potatoes.
- Sometimes I peel the potatoes and sometimes I don't. It's good either way.
- Slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices.
- I take frozen bacon because it's easier to cut and cut strips down the side to get my one inch pieces.
- Put enough olive oil in a large deep skillet (cast iron is good) to cover bottom of pan about 1/4 inch deep. Add all of the potatoes to the pan, along with cut up bacon which hasn't been cooked yet; diced onions, parsley and salt and pepper.
- Cook on medium high heat, stirring and watching so that potatoes don't burn because they will stick to the bottom of pan as they are cooking and you will need to scrape them up as they are browning.
- You can cover the pan for the first 20 minutes of cooking and cook on low and then turn up the heat for the last 15 minutes or so in order to brown some of the potatoes.
- Good with steaks and a salad.
- Estimated on servings time to make.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a variety of potatoes. A combination of starchy and waxy potatoes will give you a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove the starch from the potatoes, which will make them crispier.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly before seasoning them. This will help the seasonings to adhere to the potatoes.
- Use a generous amount of oil when roasting the potatoes. This will help to create a crispy exterior.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for at least 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
German-style oven fries are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, these fries are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
