Skillet Fried Potatoes
Skillet fried potatoes prepared in a cast iron skillet were a staple in both of our families homes. My aunt would add onions and sugar to her fried potatoes.
Russet potatoes hold up best to the frying. Onions, bell peppers, rosemary, and garlic are other great additions to the skillet.
Make sure to pat your sliced potatoes dry before putting them into your cast iron skillet. Also, do not overcrowd the slices.
Use enough oil to keep your potatoes from sticking.
Whether it is breakfast, lunch, or supper, fried potatoes make any meal special.
