Ingredients

  • 10 medium potatoes peeled, washed and sliced.
  • 3/4 to 1 cup oil I use Canola
  • 1 medium onion peeled and chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons bacon grease optional

Instructions

  • Have your grease and oil hot.
  • Add potatoes, onion, garlic, pepper.
  • Fry uncovered for about 45 minutes turning down stove after potatoes have browned and cooking until done.
  • Remove from stove, add salt.

Notes

You can also add green peppers and any kind of meat like ham or smoked sausage to this recipe.
Handy tip: If you want to speed up the frying process, you can always slice your potatoes, boil them until tender and then add them to a skillet and fry them. It will save you some time. You can also boil some potatoes, keep them in the fridge and just fry a few each morning for breakfast if you don't want to make a big amount at a time.
