How to Make Not Your Average Spuds
- Rinse the quartered potatoes in cold water and drain well.
- Heat bacon drippings (or olive oil) in a large skillet or electric skillet over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown (about 8-10 minutes).
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Combine well.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Add a tablespoon of water if they start to stick.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or any other spices to your preference.
- Serve immediately alongside your favorite pinto beans and cornbread. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
