One of the foods from my childhood I still love the most. Just make sure you make enough, because people will eat the hell out of these. Don't use bakers for this; you need waxier potatoes, so they'll hold their shape when you fry them. Read more Red potatoes are traditional, but the golden potatoes work well too. See less
Ingredients
- 5 lbs. unpeeled potatoes shopping list
- 12 slices bacon shopping list
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and diced shopping list
- 1 t. each: salt and black pepper shopping list
- 2 T. vegetable oil shopping list
How to make it
- German fries are essentially fried potatoes with onions. You find german fries on any menu in southern Indiana. You can't just chop onions and toss them in with the potatoes, because they cook faster, and by the time the potatoes are done, the onions are burned. So here's how it's done.
- Boil the potatoes until not quite done, drain and cool. Peel the potatoes, then slice them. Fry the bacon, reserving the drippings, drain the slices on paper towels, then crumble the bacon. Fry the onion in the bacon drippings until translucent, then remove the onions and reserve. Add the vegetable oil to the drippings in the pan, turn the heat to medium high, then add the potatoes, salt, and pepper. Fry them until they start to crust, add the bacon and onions, and fry for another five minutes. Salt and pepper to taste and serve.
