Fried Taters

Pappy and Nana like to have fried taters with onions, but Daddy and I are not fond of the crunch from onions.  So this is how we make:


Fried Taters
1 potato per person, unless they are small, then 2, diced 1/4"-1/2"
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon butter
onion powder
salt
pepper

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil and butter.  Pour the diced potatoes into the hot oil and add seasonings to your liking.  Using a spatula, toss the potatoes in the oil and seasonings and cover the skillet with a lid.  Turn the taters every 5 minutes to make sure they don't stick or burn.  Covering the skillet with a lid will trap the steam and help cook the taters on top while the heat and oil will make the ones on the bottom crunchy.  These take about 20-30 minutes until the taters are cooked through and have a partially crunchy outside.

Serve these with eggs and grits, quiches or frittatas.  They're good with Soup Beans and cornbread too.

Yum!
