This is a favorite at our house, and I make these at least once a week. Onions are optional, but a sweet white onion chopped and fried with the potatoes gives the potatoes a special flavor. My husband's favorite meal is pinto beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread.

My grandma passed away in 2007. Since then I've been craving "Granny's Potatoes", such a simple straightforward recipe but I was unable to find that exact flavor until now. Theses Country Fried Potaotes are a simplistic bite of nostalgia. Thank you for posting. These will now be in our monthly menu!
diadranhaylesThis is exactly how I make mine, except I use olive oil and yellow potatoes...only add onions once in awhile...hubby doesn't care for the onions very much
Kimboslice1960I'd rate this at five stars. I remember when I was younger my grandmother would make these exact potatoes. I have tried to recreate them but could never figure out how she got them like that. This potato recipe is the same exact recipe as how she cooked her potatoes. Thanks for sharing.
lisaanndohmJust like I remember my southern gradma making
