Home Made, Cast Iron, Fried Potatoes

Good morning my friends!  I ran across this gem of a recipe.  It has sugar as it's "secret" ingredient.  But you can't taste the sugar at all.  Allow yourself about 90 minutes to make this.  It's not complicated, but there is a few steps.  Nothing too difficult.

Ingredients

10 Small Russet Potatoes
1 large Onion
1/4 Cup Crisco lard
1-1/2 Tbs Seasoning Salt (note 1)
1-1/2 Tbs Sugar
1 Tbs Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Black Pepper

Stuff you will need

14 in cast iron skillet

5 quart Dutch Oven

Colander

Potatoe Peeler

Spatula

Sharp knife

Cutting board

Directions

To start the recipe off, place a large pot of water to boil.

Peel the potatoes.

Once the water comes to a boil, add your WHOLE potatoes and boil them for 25 minutes.

Drain the potatoes in the collander and add them back to the dutch oven. Add cold water to stop the potatoes from cooking any further.

While the potatoes are cooling off, slice your onion into long thin pieces.

Once the potatoes have chilled, slice them into medium size circular-shaped pieces. Now you can slice them into any shape you like but I prefer them in Super Thick potatoe chip cuts.

Put your cast iron on the stove at medium heat. Add your Crisco Lard.

Once the lard is "melted", add the onions. Cook the onions for a few minutes.

Add the potatoes.

Add all the seasonings.

Flip the fried potatoes every 2 minutes. They should be done in about 15 for lightly fried potatoes, or 20 minutes for that crispy fried potatoes.

We had this along with fried chicken. Oh my...

Note 1. Don't have seasoning salt? I didn't. Mix regular table salt with the same amount of paprika. Voila, Seasoning Salt.
