Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups skin-on red potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups whole baby carrots, fresh or frozen
2 cups whole green beans, frozen
2 cups whole wax beans, frozen
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups (1 pound) cooked, diced ham or cooked smoked sausage, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lard or your favorite cooking oil
Paprika, garlic, and pepper to taste

Steps:

Starting with the vegetable that takes the longest to cook (depending on whether you precook the potatoes or carrots), stir-fry everything in the hot oil in a preheated wok or large skillet. Park cooks use lard to make this stir-fry, but vegetable oil is used in the cooking classes. If you want traditional Silver Dollar City taste, stick with lard. In the park, the potatoes are thinly sliced and stir-fried raw, but the cooking class suggests precooking the potatoes and carrots in the microwave oven for faster stir-frying. Frozen vegetables should be thawed.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons bacon drippings or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup green sweet pepper, diced
1 lb russet potato, thinly sliced
3/4 lb sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (I like a cajun seasoned salt)
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch slices

Steps:

Add the bacon drippings or olive oil to a large skillet. Preheat over medium heat until the drippings or oil is just hot. Add the diced onion and diced green sweet pepper. Cook the onion and pepper until they're tender.
Add the unpeeled, sliced russet potatoes, the sliced sweet potatoes and water to the vegetables in the skillet. If adding sausage, stir it in now. Sprinkle the mixture with the seasoning or seasoned salt.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender, turning potatoes once or twice.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will make the cooking process much smoother and more efficient.
Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic produce and high-quality meats and cheeses.
Don't Overcook Your Veggies: Overcooked vegetables are mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
Season to Taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. This may mean adding more salt, pepper, herbs, or spices.
Garnish Your Dish: A simple garnish can make a big difference in the presentation of your dish. Try using fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.
