Peasants Potatoes - Fried Potatoes & Onions.

Submitted by Ronbo

"Classic breakfast/brunch home fried potatoes. Liberal amounts of paprika & crispy crust make this dish. I serve with grits & an omelette.  I use the cheapest potatoes available, $1 for a 5lb bag of Idaho’s. Most people use red or Yukon gold. I’ve tried all, the baking potatoes make great fried potatoes. I don’t boil to precook before frying - I use the microwave, simpler & faster."
