Smothered Potatoes
Smothered Potatoes are a comforting dish featuring tender potatoes cooked in a rich, savory gravy. This hearty recipe combines the flavors of sautéed onions and spices, creating a deliciously creamy texture that complements the potatoes, making it a satisfying side or main dish.
Equipment
- Medium-sized skillet
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Water
- 5 red potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ small onion, diced
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour for coating
Instructions
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- In a shallow dish, place the flour and coat the potatoes thoroughly.
- Mix in the chopped onion with the floured potatoes and set the mixture aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the potato and onion mixture to the skillet, cooking until golden brown, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Once the mixture is browned, lower the heat to a simmer.
- Add water, cover the skillet, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, uncover the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking to allow any excess moisture to evaporate and the potatoes to crisp up even more.
