Raw Fried Potatoes image

This may not be the healthiest, but it is SO good!!! The original recipe came from a little hand-typed Amish cookbook. The only change I made was I added some onion...I love fried potatoes w/ onions!!! HINT: Never use "new" potatoes...they do not fry well...whites fry better then reds & golds.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium russet potatoes, washed & unpeeled
1 medium onion, peeled (yellow or white)
ice water
salt & pepper, to taste, no other seasoning needed
3 -4 tablespoons lard (can use CRISCO, but it changes the taste)

Steps:

  • Wash the potatoes under cold water & pat dry -- cut away any bad spots You can peel them, but I prefer not to.
  • Peel the onion.
  • Thinly slice the potatoes & onion.
  • Add enough ice water to cover & let soak for about 15 minutes.
  • Over medium-high heat, melt the lard (or CRISCO) -- cast iron works best.
  • Drain the potatoes/onions & immediately add to the hot grease -- BE CAREFUL -- THE GREASE WILL SPLATTER!
  • Season as desired.
  • Cover & cook over med.-high heat until soft, stirring often.
  • If potatoes stick, add a little more lard/CRISCO.
