One of our family's favorite comfort foods. Smothered potatoes and onions are great for any meal!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These are the ultimate pan-fried potatoes made with very simple ingredients with a delicious result. The onions smell amazing while they're cooking down in bacon drippings. Once the sliced potatoes are added, they begin to absorb the smoky flavor. The potatoes get wonderful crispy bits while frying. Seasoned perfectly, they could replace hash browns as a side dish for breakfast or lunch. Versatile, they'd be tasty with grilled steak too.
