German Fried Potatoes
Recipes » Side Dish » Potatoes
This is my family's favorite way to fix potatoes. My mom used to make with steaks and a salad. Delicious!
"Having grown up in Germany I have had this many times but we use speck instead of bacon. I fire the speck first - it makes the speck nice and crisp and reduces the amount of oil i have to add - before adding the onion and potatoes. Also I serve it as a main (sometimes topped with a fried egg.)If i'm in a rush i par boil the potatoes in the microwave for 8-10 min. Just don't over cook them or they will fall apart when you tossed them." - exitnow

Notes German Fried Potatoes Preparation
Wash potatoes.
Sometimes I peel the potatoes and sometimes I don't. It's good with skins off or on.
Slice the potatoes into 1/8 inch thick slices.
I take frozen bacon because it's easier to cut and cut strips down the side to get my one-inch pieces.
Put enough olive oil in a large deep skillet (cast iron is good) to cover bottom of pan about 1/4 inch deep.
Add all of the potatoes to the pan, along with cut up bacon which hasn't been cooked yet; diced onions, parsley and salt and pepper.
Cook on Medium high heat, stirring and watching so that potatoes don't burn -- because they will stick to the bottom of pan as they are cooking and you will need to scrape them up as they are browning.
You can cover the pan for the first 20 minutes of cooking and cook on low and then turn up the heat for the last 15 minutes or so in order to brown some of the potatoes.

This was sooo good! Actually made this for a side dish for Christmas Dinner and everyone loved it!

I cooked the bacon first and then drained the bacon grease and cooked the potatoes and onions in the bacon grease with salt, pepper, garlic powder and old bay seasoning. It was amazing!

Good but had a hard time getting bacon done. Didn't have a cast iron pan! Sure that makes a difference!

My family loved it! Thank you :)

Delicious. I cut the recipe in half as we didn't need the full amount. To cut down on the grease, I cooked the bacon first and drained some of the grease. I didn't add anymore oil as it would have been too greasy. Very tasty dish.

This was a really big recipe. I cut it in half and decreased the amount of oil more than half. It was still pretty greasy, but it was tasty! I drained the excess oil and there was still a lot of oil, so I tweak that part next time. It would be a great Christmas am breakfast made the day before. It gets even better each day.

Made it for myself and my boyfriend. I altered the quantities slightly to suit.
It was really easy to make and tasted awesome. I will definitely be making it again! Thank you.

Very yummy but a bit too greasy for me- next time will make sure I leave enough time to drain some of the oil off but delicious flavours nonetheless! Have served it as a main with steamed vegetables on the side.

My family loved, but it was a bit too much grease for myself. Next time so I can control the grease I will do the bacon by itself for the first 15 min.
