Steps:
- If you like, scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2" cubes. Place in pan with water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, then drain and set aside. You may prep in advance, store them in fresh water in a tightly covered container in the reefigerator. Drain and dry completely befroe using. You don't need to bring to room temperature. I sometimes skip this part and cut smaller and throw into pan.
- Place a 10" skillet or saute pan over medium heat on stovetop. After a few minutes, add 1 tbls. of the olive oil(or enough to cover the bottom of the pan, wait about 10 seconds, then swirl to coat pan. Turn the heat up to medium high and add half the potatoes, spreading them into a single layer in the hot oil. Let cook a few minutes, then turn down the heat to medium and let cook, without stirring for 5-8 minutes. Resist stirring.
- Sprinkle in about 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and turn the potatoes over, using a metal spatula. I check to make sure they are getting nice and brown and crispy on the underside before turning. If they are not, let cook a few more minutes. Spread into a single layer and cook without stirring for another 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Scrape from the bottom to loosen the potatoes, and toss them around in the pan. Cook for another minute or two, then move them to a bowl, scraping out and saving all the tasty brown tidbits from the bottom of the pan. Repeat this procedure with the remaining potatoes, using another tbls. or so of the oil and another 1/8 teaspoons salt.
- After cooking the potatoes, scrape out the pan and wipe with a damp paper towel.(I sometimes skip wiping out the pan if it is fairly clean). Return pan to heat and when hot, add remaining tbls. of oil. You can also melt in a little margarine or butter if you like. Wait 10 seconds, then swirl to coat bottom of pan.
- Add the onions and saute over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes very soft. Sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt, along with herbs, bell peppers, and garlic. Continue to cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes or so.
- Return the potatoes to the pan and stir them into the onion mixture. Saute over medium heat for another 5-10 minutes(more if needed), or until everything is done to your liking.
- Taste to adjust the salt, and grind in some fresh black pepper.
- Serve hot or warm, topped with your favorite toppiings. Enjoy!

HOMEMADE CRISPY SEASONED FRENCH FRIES
My family loves French fries and with 4 children the bag fries from the store just weren't enough and became too expensive. So I tried batter - after all it makes chicken, shrimp, and onion rings crispy so why not potatoes. Now even my husband can't get enough of these French fries. They even stay crispy when you reheat in the microwave.

Steps:
- Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
- Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

HOME FRIES
The great thing about this recipe is that it can be cooked in just one skillet - and it eliminates the time-consuming task of blanching your potatoes first. Water, oil and salt are combined in one pan. Once the potatoes enter the skillet, the lid is added and the potatoes steam, cooking evenly and absorbing the flavors of the salt and oil. Once the lid comes off, the water evaporates yet the oil remains, so the potatoes pan-fry until crispy. The results? Crunchy home fries with pillowy centers. If cooking for a crowd, double or triple the recipe, but do cook in batches, to avoid crowding the pan.

Steps:
- Add the oil, salt and 1/3 cup water to a medium cast-iron skillet; whisk to combine.
- Add the potato cubes in an even layer. (It's very important to not crowd the pan.) Turn heat to medium, cover the skillet and cook the potatoes, undisturbed, for about 6 minutes.
- Uncover, give them a toss or shake. Cook, uncovered and undisturbed, until the underside turns golden, then carefully flip. Repeat on all sides until the water evaporates and the potatoes are crispy all over and tender inside, about 9 minutes total.
- Transfer the home fries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
