Skillet-Browned Potatoes

Submitted by Jessica K

"These are a great and yummy alternative to regular old mashed potatoes!! This is a simple country recipe with it's origins from the British regions, then made it's way over to Canada and the US."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 5 medium potatoes, peeled
• 1⁄2 medium onion, minced
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cracked pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic salt
• 2 tablespoons seasoning salt
• 2 tablespoons Italian spices

directions

1. Slice potatoes into chunks or into round slices, I have cooked them both ways and both are good. It is just personal preference for shape.
2. Boil for 10 minutes in salted water, drain in a collander. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat melt butter and oil in skillet.
3. When butter is melted add onions. When translucent, add potatoes and seasonings. Cover and cook on one side for 5-7 minute. Flip and cook on other side for 5-7 more minute.
4. Potatoes should be browned and crispy looking, but also a little soft. If butter ran dry during cooking add 2 more TB. Enjoy!

These were very easy and delicious. I didn't have any garlic salt, so I used seasoning salt instead. I only used 2 small potatoes and just eyed the spices. Left me wishing I'd made more.

Delicious. I agree about the amounts of spices; I just shook them on by eye, but probably used about 1 TBS of seasoned salt, and then used garlic powder and onion powder, and some salt and pepper.

Excellent :) I subtracted the seasoned salt but followed the rest exactly. I also added eggs and cheese for a delicious breakfast!

Great alternative to fried fries. Very tasty. I also thought they were super quick. My kids love them. Thanks.

The basics are great, but I'm 100% positive that she meant TEASPOONS for the splices, and not TABLESPOONS. Even then, it is VERY salty, so I recommend taking it slow and tasting. Other than that, GREAT!
