Home Fried Potatoes Crispy Breakfast Recipe

by
home fried potatoes recipe

This crispy home fried potatoes recipe makes a tasty breakfast side. I use onion and hot pepper in this video/recipe, but a little added green bell pepper is nice, too.

Home Fried Potatoes Recipe Ingredients

1 large POTATO
2-3 Tbsp BACON FAT
1/3 cup ONION (finely chopped)
¼ cup GREEN BELL PEPPER (finely chopped, optional)
HOT PEPPER (to taste, finely chopped)
1 tsp SMOKED PAPRIKA
SALT and PEPPER to taste

How to Make Home Fried Potatoes

  • In a skillet, fry up 4-5 pieces of fatty bacon, this will give you enough grease to cook up your potatoes.
  • Peel your potato, which is something I hate to say, ’cause potato skin is so delicious, but the breakfast home fries I grew up with were peeled, so that’s how I gotta roll.
  • Dice your potato into dinky cubes; they don’t have to be exactly the same same, but mostly they do, so cut them as uniformly as possible.
  • Add your diced potato to the skillet of hot grease–and by hot, I mean that your potatoes start to sizzle and cook when they hit the pan–but not overly hot, ’cause it will take 20-25 minutes to cook these potatoes up just right. Medium-low heat is a good temp, keep the potatoes sizzling, they need to crisp on the outside, but they also need to cook through on the inside, otherwise you’ll end up with a bunch of crispy, raw potato; so go slow, amigo.
  • Mix your potatoes with the grease and spread them out in the skillet and let them brown for about 5 minutes.
  • Add finely chopped onion and hot peppers; if desired, also add a little finely chopped green bell pepper for taste and color…I usually do, but if I don’t have it on hand, it’s not the end of the world–it’s just breakfast, man.
  • Mix the ingredients well and spread out in the skillet and let cook another 5 minutes.  If you don’t have a good pan, here are some current prices for cast iron skillets on Amazon.
  • Add paprika, stir and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through and done to the desired crispness.
    The key is to not cook the potatoes too fast.

Stamppot Boerenkool Dutch Meat and Potatoes

by
kale and potato hash

This kale hash recipe is a hearty and healthy way to get a tasty kale dish on the table for dinner. It’s based on a Dutch dish called Stamppot Boerenkool.

Kale Hash Ingredients

1½ bunches KALE
3 lbs POTATOES
1 lb SMOKED SAUSAGE (sliced)
1 bunch GREEN ONIONS (chopped)
2-3 cloves GARLIC (finely chopped)
2 Tbsp BUTTER
½ cup MILK
1 tsp CELERY SEEDS
1 BAY LEAF
SALT and PEPPER to taste

How to make Stamppot Boerenkool

Clean your potatoes and get them cooking. I like to use red potatoes since it’s a nice contrast with the kale, and the skin is thin and tasty (but if you’re not a fan of potato skin, you can peel them). In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cool tap water (about an inch over the potatoes).

stamppot boerenkool
Use lots of kale! –And red potatoes work great for this dish.

Add salt and a bay leaf and bring potatoes to a boil until they are cooked through–cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes–the potatoes I used in the video took approx. 25 minutes to cook; potatoes are cooked through once you can pierce them easily with a fork and the
potato slides off. While the potatoes cook, wash and cut the kale. Remove the kale stems and cut or tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. For three pounds of potatoes, use 1 to 2 bunches of kale, the kale will cook down quite a bit, so don’t be shy with it–ideally, you want an even kale/potato ratio.

Heat a large skillet on med. high heat and add the sausage (or for a vegetarian dish–just leave the sausage out…isn’t that genius?) . Saute for a a few minutes until the sausage begins to color. Add finely chopped garlic and chopped green onion bottoms. Mix with sausage and continue cooking 2 minutes. Add kale to the skillet. This will be a lot of kale, so don’t bother mixing the kale in at this point–just add ½ cup water and cover and allow the kale greens to wilt for 2 minutes.

Kale Hash Recipe (boerenkool)

Once the kale has began reducing and softening, add salt to taste and then mix with sausage, garlic, and onion. Add a little more water if needed, but be conservative, as the kale will continue to release water of it’s own. Cover and continue steaming 3-5 minutes, or until it is cooked to your taste.

When the potatoes are cooked through, drain off the hot water (reserve a small amount). Remove the bay leaf and mash the potatoes. Add butter, celery seeds, milk (optional–you can use the reserved hot potato water instead, or a mixture of the two), and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Mash the potatoes as smooth or chunky as desired and then add the kale/sausage mix. Add the green onion tops. Combine well…and that’s it, dinner is ready! We serve stamppot boerenkool with a side of mustard and it is fantastico!

Try new dishes! Get a bunch of spices, pots and pans, and begin experimenting with different recipes. Home cooking is a healthy hobby that will save you tons of money in the long run.
Check out current prices for Complete Kitchenware Sets on Amazon as well as Complete Starter Spice Kits. Or go to a thrift store! I’ve found some of my favorite kitchen gear at second-hand stores.

Chorizo Recipe — Cazuela de Chorizo!

by
Chorizo Sausage recipe

This spicy chorizo sausage recipe is a Spanish inspired meat and potato stew that is super-flavorful and delicious–and hearty, too.

What you need for this Chorizo Sausage Recipe

1 lb CHORIZO LINKS
3-4 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
1 lg ONION (chopped well)
4-5 cloves GARLIC (thinly sliced)
3 ROMA TOMATOES (diced)
3 lg POTATOES (cut into approx 1″ pieces)
14 oz can BROTH (add water as needed)
1 BAY LEAF
1 tsp SMOKED PAPRIKA
1 Tbsp CHILI POWDER
¼ tsp CAYENNE PEPPER
½ tsp ground THYME
SALT and PEPPER to taste

Fresh Chorizo Sausage Links

How to make Cazuela de Chorizo

  • Heat olive oil on medium high heat in a deep skillet or wide-bottom pot.
  • Add onion and garlic and saute.
  • As the onion begins to soften, add bay leaf, salt, chili powder, cayene pepper, and paprika.
  • Stir well and continue sauteing ingredients for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add chorizo sausage–use UNCOOKED chorizo links; slice the links in the casing, about ½ inch wide pieces.
  • Cook the sausage with the onions for 5 minutes and then add tomato (3 diced roma tomatoes or 14oz can diced tomatoes).
  • Mix tomato with onion and then add potato. I like to leave the skin on the potato mainly because it tastes GOOD. And then you don’t have to peel the potatoes either, which is good, too. The potato should be cut up into good sizes, about 1″ pieces, so that you’ll have some good chunks of potato after the dish stews.
  • Cover the skillet and bring the dish up to a bubble.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and add dried thyme.
  • Cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through–stirring occasionally as needed.

Give it a taste and add a little more salt and seasoning as desired. Garnish this chorizo recipe with fresh chopped parsley, cilantro, or green onion…and enjoy!
