How to Make Beer Cheese Fried Potatoes

  1. Peel and cut 2 lbs russet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. In a large 12-inch skillet, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are lightly browned on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not mushy (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup of beer and cover the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Dot the top of the potatoes with 4 ounces of softened cream cheese.
  8. Cover and cook until the cream cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 1 minute before serving. Optional: Top with two fried eggs for extra protein.
