Made these last night and reminded me of my mom making them when we were growing up. I used canola oil to fry in and they were still delicious. Thanks for the recipe! -
I've been making potatoes like this for years-it's a southern thing. They are excellent and the only thing I do different is when they're done, I put cream cheese on top and melt. YUM YUM -
It was pointed out to me that I had posted my review of your recipe on another recipe. Here is the review I posted. I liked fried potatoes and I thought I would this a try. The onions added a nice flavor addition. I added a little butter along with the shortening. Will have to make my fried potatoes with onions more often. Thanks Sheri-BDB Bullwinkle -
Love these fried potatoes and onions! I fix these every weekend as a treat! I use corn or veg. oil to fry them in. Thanks for a good basic potato recipe!

I grew up in California and now live in Seattle Washington,and I really love it here! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and still enjoy cooking till this day. I don't really have a favorite food as I enjoy many different dishes. I do really enjoy cooking on a smoker, the taste is out of this world. I also enjoy barbecue, Italian, Mexican and Chinese just to name a few. As you will notice I also enjoy taking pictures of dishes I make, there's nothing like getting that great shot. Thank you for stopping in, I hope you enjoy my site!
