Potato Home Fries

I have made a mixed potato home fries recipe from budgetbytes.com that I loved! http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2011/01/mixed-potato-home-fries-251-recipe-063.html

It has sweet potatoes and regular white potatoes and it is really good. I don't have any sweet potatoes, so I made the recipe with all regular potatoes. I added bacon and cheddar cheese and they turned out amazing!!

Here's the recipe:

Mixed Potato Home Fries

INGREDIENTS

6 oz. bacon

3 Tbsp butter

1 medium onion

about 2 lbs. potatoes

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

to taste seasoned salt

Cheese (cheddar is great)

STEP 1: Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Remove from pan. Break/cut up into little pieces when cool enough to handle. Drain bacon grease, but don’t wipe out the pan. It will lend great flavor to the onions. Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed skillet. As the butter is melting, dice the onion. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until it just begins to turn golden.

STEP 2: While the onion is cooking, wash, but do not peel the potatoes. Dice potatoes in 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes. Try to get the potatoes cut in as even sized chunks as possible so that they cook evenly.

STEP 3: Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook until tender. If you have a lid for the skillet, this will trap the steam and help them cook faster. Stir the potatoes every few minutes to make sure they all come in contact with the hot skillet. Use a fork to test the tenderness of a few different pieces.

STEP 4: Once the potatoes are fork tender, crank the heat up toward high. Add an additional tablespoon of vegetable oil to help the frying along and let the potatoes brown to a crisp. Only stir every five minutes or so to allow the bottom layer of potatoes to crisp and brown.

STEP 5: When the potatoes are brown and crispy on the edges, season to your liking. Sprinkle bacon pieces and cheddar cheese on top.
