How to Make Fried Taters Onions
- Peel the potatoes and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Soak the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
- While the potatoes soak, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Heat the shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The shortening is ready when a pinch of potato dropped in sizzles immediately.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up nicely.
- Add the potatoes and onions to the hot skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Fry the potatoes and onions for 10 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.
- Uncover the skillet and continue frying for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness!
