Steps:
- Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes. Cut onion into 2 or 3 slices, then cut rings in half and separate the layers.
- Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed potatoes to the hot skillet and season with garlic salt and seasoned salt. Spread them out evenly over the bottom and allow to cook for 5 to 8 minutes without turning. Turn, and continue cooking, turning every 5 to 8 minutes, until evenly browned.
- When potatoes have reached the desired color, add onion. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until onion is slightly cooked, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
- Carefully remove potatoes and onions from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool for 2 to 5 minutes before serving.

VERY CRISPY HOME FRIES
This recipe is a little time consuming and has frying and re-frying involved, but in my opinion, it is worth every minute it takes to do it.

Steps:
- Peel and cube or wedge the potatoes.
- Place cubes in ice water and add salt. Let sit in ice water about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat oil in skillet.
- Get flour ready in flat bottomed pan so you can dredge wet potato wedges when they are done soaking.
- While oil is heating, in a colander drain potatoes.
- Flip potato pieces into the flour in pan and dredge until all sides of potato are well coated.
- When oil is hot put potato cubes or wedges into oil and fry. Fry until beginning to be golden, then turn and brown on other sides the same way.
- **Note: As potatoes fry you can cover them temporarily to increase heat -the secret to crispiness is leave them long enough on each side to form a little crust before turning them. The other secret will be frying the potatoes twice over, letting them cool in between. I find it helps to use tongs and a fork and individually flip the potato cubes or wedges so they all get browned evenly, but that is up to you. I also flip them all with spatula from time to to time.
- When browned and lightly crisped remove from oil and drain on paper towel.
- While potatoes are cooling heat oil back up and fry bell pepper and onion in same oil medium high heat.
- Fry veggies until onion starts to turn brown and golden around edges but don't let them turn too dark.
- Remove fried veggies and drain on paper towel. Lower heat temporarily while you thoroughly remove all fried vegetable pieces from hot oil.
- Add a little more oil and turn heat back up to get it hot.
- (Watch and have lid ready to protect yourself in case of "spitting" oil from moisture in vegetables in oil, until it boils off. Can lower heat a touch if gets too bad).
- Now, to the hot oil add back the once-fried crisp coated potatoes -- and fry again same way until the potatoes have formed a nice, brown crust on all sides.
- When potatoes are medium dark golden and just right (crispy enough), add back the onion and bell pepper to the crispy potatoes.
- Fry together for a very short time then remove before they burn. Vegetables burn relatively quickly so don't fry them long, then quickly remove all from oil and let drain on paper towels. Re-season the potatoes with pepper and onion, checking for garlic powder and saltiness to be just right.
- You are ready to eat. I like to set the potatoes aside in warm place covered with paper towel and fry eggs to go over the top of the potatoes when served.
- When ready to serve, if potatoes have cooled off too much, gently reheat in microwave real quickly.
- Enjoy.
