POTSIE'S WHITE TRASH TRINITY



Potsie's White Trash Trinity image

The Cajuns have a "Holy Trinity" of cooking which consists of celery, onion, and bell peppers. Texas White Trash (which I come from a long and distinguished line of)have our own Holy Trinity of cooking consisting of potatoes, onions, and okra. My family has been making this for years and I remember eating it while I was still strapped in a booster chair. If you love fried potatoes- if you love okra- and if you love onions- you will love this dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. May be served with ketchup but if you want real authentic White Trash fare- serve smothered in creamy white gravy! You can get me to do some rather unpleasant things if you wave a plate of this at me.

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 russet potatoes (well scrubbed or peeled and cut into uniform cubes)
1 large yellow onion (sliced, diced, or however you like it)
1 cup sliced okra (cut into half inch slices)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or Canola oil)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste

Steps:

  • Pour oil into a skillet with a tight fitting lid (preferably cast iron but go with what you have)and then add potatoes, onion, and okra and toss.
  • Heat your skillet (with all of the ingredients) over medium high heat.
  • Sprinkle with garlic powder and a generous amount of pepper. Save salt for later(Salting potatoes makes them "sweat". Just like eggplant. You don't want them to do that while trying to brown them -- it will increase your cooking time.).
  • Cover skillet with a tight fitting lid and cook over a medium high heat until potatoes are steamed soft, stirring about every 5 minutes. Don't use a high heat YET -- you are not trying to brown the potatoes yet just get them soft.
  • They should be soft in about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your cubed potatoes. I like to cube mine relatively small- I think the end result is a better texture. (For me, anyway).
  • After potatoes are soft, remove the lid (and don't recover anymore) and turn the heat up to brown the potatoes. I usually only turn them two or three times because I like some of them browned and other ones still soft.
  • When browned to your liking remove from skillet and salt to your taste.
  • Serve with ketchup if you must but a creamy white gravy is better.

POTSIE'S WHITE TRASH DIRTY MARTINI



Potsie's White Trash Dirty Martini image

What makes a classy martini become white trash? A pickled pod of okra instead of an olive, of course. I came up with this 10 years ago when I was out of olives and then noticed a jar of pickled okra in the fridge. A local bar that I frequent began making them for me and now it's very popular there.

My sister-in-law made this at Christmas-time, and everyone loved it! It's very easy to make, and makes a great snack. It also makes a great Christmas goodie to give out to friends and family. I have no idea how it got it's name....
