Fried Potatoes/Chives

 

Herbs and Butters

 

4    large red potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

4    tablespoons vegetable oil 

1    small sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

      Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

      Fresh chives

 

Place oil in a large skillet.  Layer potatoes inside and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.  Remove cover, turn potatoes, and add onion rings.  Cook another 10 minutes until potatoes and onions are tender.  Turn as needed to prevent burning.  Season to taste.  Garnish with chives.  

Yield:  4 servings.

 

*Harvest and preparation of Chives – For fresh use, harvest tops anytime during the growing season.  Cut off close to the ground.  Cut early in the morning, just after the dew has evaporated and before the sun is hot.  Place tops in a colander and rinse under cold running water.  Pat dry with paper towels.  Stack tops together and mince.
