The cornmeal adds a nice texture to these. This dish doesn't last more than a few minutes at my house. It's great!

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh okra
2 large potatoes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4-1/2 cup bacon drippings (or you can use vegetable oil, but it won't taste as good!)

Steps:

  • Wash okra and cut off stem ends. Cut in about ½-inch pieces. Peel potatoes and chop into ½-inch dice. Put okra and potatoes in large bowl. Add chopped onion to mixture. Sprinkle cornmeal, salt and pepper over mixture. Stir until cornmeal is evenly distributed throughout mixture.
  • Heat drippings or oil in large skillet over medium heat (oil should be hot, but not smoking hot). Carefully spoon okra/potato mixture into hot oil. Fry, turning mixture occasionally, until potatoes are done and mixture is nicely browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Makes enough for 4 or 5 hungry people.
