Fried Potatoes with Onion (Raw Fries)

“These are very tasty and a bit like hash browns, but perhaps even better. They are great for breakfast or dinner.” – April Ferre

Fried Potatoes with Onion (Raw Fries)

Course: Side Dishes – Potatoes

Ingredients

  • Potatoes
  • Onion
  • Salt
  • Oil

Instructions

  • Thinly slice potatoes. A mandolin slicer is helpful to achieve this. Slice up plenty as they go fast and shrink down as they cook.
  • Add oil in fry pan or electric skillet to a little more than cover the bottom and heat to 350 degrees.
  • Add potatoes and salt. Turn potatoes when nice and golden brown, but don't turn too often. Turn until potatoes are cooked through, and of the desired color and texture.
  • Add onions half way through the cooking. If you add them prior to this, they tend to become black.
