SOUTHERN FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Simple recipe for Southern Fried Potatoes and Onions

Provided by Loaves and Dishes

Categories     Side

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Enough peanut oil to wet the entire bottom of your pan
2 tbs unsalted sweet cream butter
1 lb Idaho (Russet or Red potatoes (I like Reds - but that is just a personal preference))
Salted water
½ medium sized sweet onion (like Vidalia)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garnish with paprika and fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place a heavy 9" cast iron skillet over medium heat (just a little more than medium on my electric stove).
  • Pour oil into the skillet and add the butter as well. Allow this to heat until the oil is shimmery on the surface - not smoking - if it starts to smoke, pull it off the heat and let it cool some until it is shimmery again.
  • Cut up the potatoes into pieces that are the same size - chips or cubes - your choice.
  • As you cut, place into 4 cups of water that has 2 Tbs of salt mixed in.
  • Cut up onion into bigger chunks than you cut the potato.
  • After 5 minutes, drain the potato VERY WELL and dry with paper towels
  • When the oil is ready (shimmery) put the potato and the onion into the oil. Do not crowd the potatoes. If there isn't enough room for them to lay side by side, then let some cook, remove them to drain on a paper towel and then cook the rest.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes on one side then flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes on the other side.
  • Drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper as soon as you remove from the oil
  • Garnish and serve hot.

OLD FASHIONED STEWED TATERS N' ONIONS



Old Fashioned Stewed Taters n' Onions image

I grew up with stewed potatoes. Mom usually had them with pinto beans and a side of cornbread. This recipe isn't precise because it's one of those handed down from mom to daughter recipes. It's hard to tell how old this is. My mom told me how to make it and I'm sure her mom told her, and so on. These "taters n' onions" as we...

Categories     Potatoes

Time 30m

4 or 5 medium white potatoes (yukon gold potatoes work very well, too)
1 medium onion
1/4 to 1/2 c whole milk
butter to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and rinse potatoes. Cut into pieces and put into a large saucepan. Peel and quarter onion and put into pan with potatoes. Cover with water bring to a boil. Cover and cook until tender.

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS



Absolute Best Liver and Onions image

This recipe will turn liver haters into converts. Very simple! The three things that will set your liver above all others are: 1) soak in milk, 2)turn liver as little as possible and 3) don't overcook!

Provided by JSHULER43

Categories     Everyday Cooking

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sliced beef liver
1 ½ cups milk, or as needed
¼ cup butter, divided
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced into rings
2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
  • When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or Red Bliss hold their shape well and won't fall apart when stewed.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This ensures that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If the potatoes are too crowded, they won't cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: This will take about 20 minutes.
  • Add the onions in the last 10 minutes of cooking: This will prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the potatoes and onions with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad are all good options.

Conclusion:

Old Fashioned Stewed Taters N' Onions is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
