Quick Fried Breakfast Potatoes With Onions

aronsinvest's Note:

I make these usually on a Sunday morning. I love the smell of frying onions. I do not buy the ready hash browns anymore. I do make extra to serve for another breakfast during the week.

This is a great recipe. But I think I cooked my potatoes too much. My microwave has a lot of power. Maybe that's why. And also I diced the potatoes and they were all crumbly. Overall it was delicious. And since I cooked bacon in another pan, I poured a little bit of bacon grease to give some bacon taste to the potatoes. Thanks aronsinvest :) Made for cookbook tag game

Yum! I made these for dinner instead of breakfast. I had made baked potatoes the other day and had three leftover so I used those for this dish. I followed the recipe as written using olive oil for the oil. We all loved these and they smelled so good cooking. I couldn't help testing them a few times while I was cooking them.

Yummy. These potatoes are so tasty, tender and delicious. Made exactly as written. Love fried potatoes with onions and these do not disappoint. They melted in my mouth. just the way I like, crispy and very flavorful. I used beautiful PEI potatoes and sweet vidalia onions. Thanks for sharing this lovely dish which I will make again. Made for Spring Pac 2012.
