Fried Boiled Potatoes

A boiled potato is rather boring but with just a bit of frying you can jazz it up a bit. Earlier I had mentioned that my mother was a southern cook and that YES I do have a jar of bacon drippings in my fridge. This is one of those times when a bit of bacon drippings can make a great dish.

NEED:
6 medium to large potatoes--peeled and quartered.
Large pot of water
1 teaspoon of salt
Large fry pan
3 tablespoons of bacon drippings
pepper to taste

Boil cut potatoes and salt until about 3/4 of the way done. Drain completely.
In large fry pan...heat bacon drippings and carefully add potatoes.
Cook until golden brown and then turn. You want to brown all sides.
When done, sprinkle with pepper and serve.

The bacon drippings add a great flavor. You do not need to add additional salt to these when frying.

Enjoy!
