German-Style Roasted Hash Browns Homemade
"This is a terrific accompaniment to any meal -- we especially like it with beef. If you like, to save time, you can fry potatoes a little ahead of time and store them covered. Then when you're ready to make dinner, you can finish cooking them."

ingredients
- 5 large idaho potatoes
- vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 1⁄2 cups onions, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter
- white pepper
directions
- Peel and slice potatoes into 1/2-inch strips. Place the strips in a bowl of cold water as they are cut to prevent them from getting brown.
- Drain and pat the potato strips dry. Pour oil to a depth of 3/4 inch into a large, heavy cast-iron skillet and heat until close to boiling. Divide potatoes into 3 batches and fry each batch separately; each batch should take about 10 minutes. Remove potatoes with slotted spoon or strainer and drain on paper towels. When potatoes have cooled, cut strips into 1/4-inch dice.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a clean heavy skillet. When the oil is hot and begins to sizzle, add the chopped onions, paprika and salt. Saute over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, or until the onions start to soften and brown.
- Melt the butter in a large ovenproof pan or skillet. Add the potatoes and onions, and mix together well. Saute over medium-high heat until browned and then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast 10-15 minutes, until crisp.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
