German Pan Fried Potatoes
I love preparing this simple dish. Who could resist the smell of onions sizzling away in oil? Not me. When I add the potatoes I know I am not too far away from sampling the finished product. It smells great and taste even better. The potatoes can dress up the plainest of foods. Also delicious with an omelet.

Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 3-4 large potatoes peeled, sliced into 1/4 inches rounds.
- 4 tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
- 1 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 small sweet onion medium dice
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
-
Heat oil in large skillet. Fry onions for about 2 minutes on medium heat. Add potatoes, salt and pepper. Cover, Cook for about 20 minutes. For very crispy potatoes leave uncovered. Whatever works best for you.
-
Check potatoes and move them around so they don't stick to pan. If you need more oil add some to keep potatoes from sticking. Cook until potatoes are crisp but soft (but not mushy).
-
Remove potatoes and let them drain on a wire rack. Put some paper towels under the rack to soak up the dripping oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of Kosher salt and fresh parsley (optional). Serve immediately.
