Have you ever tried something so delicious that you could hardly stand it... and something you shocked more than you actually made? This is one of those recipes. When you make these French fries and onion recipes, you'll feel like you've died and gone to heaven.
Simple and easy!My whole family loves this recipe, if they were at their discretion, I would cook it every day! Try it, you will like it!To prepare this recipe, you will want following ingredients:
* Ingredients:
° Enough oil peanut to moisten entire bottom of pan
° 2 tsps sweet butter unsalted
° 1 pound Idaho Russet or red potatoes (I like Reds - but that's just a personal preference)
° salt water
° Medium sweet onion like Vidalia
° Salt and pepper to taste
° Garnished with sweet pepper and fresh basil
* Directions :
Place a heavy 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat (just a little more than medium on the stovetop).
Pour the oil into the pan and add the butter as well. Let it heat until the oil is glistening on the surface - not smoking - if it starts to smoke, remove from heat and let cool until shiny again.
Cut the potatoes into pieces of the same size - chips or cubes - of your choice.
While chopping, place it in 4 cups of water containing 2 tablespoons of salt.
Cut the onions into pieces larger than the potatoes.
After 5 minutes, drain the potatoes well and dry them with paper towels
When the oil is ready (shiny) put the potatoes and onions in the oil. Don't crowd the potatoes. If there isn't enough room to put them side by side, let some of them cook, remove to drain on a paper towel and then cook the rest.
Cook for about 4 minutes on one side then flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes on the other side.
Drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper once removed from the oil
Decorate and serve hot.
Enjoy !
