Submitted by papergoddess

"The way my mom always made 'em. I serve these with smoked sausage or kielbasa. These are NOT hash browns, and will not be crispy"

• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 5 -6 potatoes, sliced (peel-on optional)

• 1 -2 tablespoon paprika
• salt

directions

1. In a skillet, melt bacon fat.
2. Add onions and saute 2-3 minutes.
3. Add potatoes, salt, and paprika (there should be enough to make potatoes almost orange).
4. Fry, covered, over medium heat until soft and tender.
5. If it starts sticking and forming a crust on the bottom, turn the heat down and add a little water.

AMAZING! I can't believe that I've never made these before! I added a little bit of garlic powder also like another reviewer, and they turned out great!!!!

Yum! Easy and good. I let these brown a little more since I like the crunch on the outside of the potatoes. Thanks papergoddess for a nice treat. Made for Cookbook Tag.

This was recommended by Chef #280271. We love fried potatoes and these are so yummy with the bacon fat! We also added some garlic powder too. :)

These are delicious. I love the flavor and they were so simple to make. I love the paprika. I also added some freshly ground black pepper. Thanks for sharing!
