Now, if you're on a low-fat diet, you may want to move on. LOL. This is NOT low fat, or even healthy for that matter. But it sure is good!
One large potato per person
one or two large onions
Pack of weiners ( optional)
Oil for frying
salt to taste
I Peel one large potato per person. ( I like to use the large Russett potatoes. To me they have the best flavor.) Once I get these done. I add one or two more potatoes for the person that wants more.)
When they are peeled. Cut them into cubes. Similar to the cubes for making potato salad.
Now peel and cut up your onion. Once I peel it. I cut it into four pieces and then break it apart. These pieces look large, but they will cook down.
Use a deep frying pan, adding roughly a half-inch to an inch of oil. I heat my oil on 7 until it gets hot. Carefully add a potato piece to test your oil. once it's hot add your potatoes and onions 2 parts potatoes to one part onion. Now, this is where the grandkids like me to add some cut-up wieners. I just cut three weiners into bite-sized pieces and drop them in with the potato and onions. After about five minutes, flip your potatoes with a spatula to see if they are browning. Don't flip them too much or your potatoes will fall apart. Once they are golden brown ( In some areas. The whole potato won't be brown.) Remove them and place them on paper towels. sprinkle some salt on them. Add more potatoes, onions, and weiners until you use them all up. Serve warm with Ketchup or Ranch dressing on the side.
