Bratkartoffeln German Fries Recipe

	Bondc / All my dishes 2 years, 4 months ago 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. Red potatoes ... More Prep:20m Cook:20m Servings:4	Bondc

Ingredients

5 lbs. unpeeled potatoes

12 slices bacon

1 large yellow onion, peeled and diced

1 t. each: salt and black pepper

2 T. vegetable oil

Directions

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.

So this is how you make them! Thanks, Bondc! I've been buying these in packaged form from a the Alpine Village market for years. (Its a German-themed market in Torrance, CA.) Now I can make my own! Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
