My mom was from KY and made this recipe a lot. She liked to add a dash of sugar too. It's delicious with it.

One of DH's specialties- He spices them up a little with some grill seasoning and garlic powder. Love 'em!

This is an old recipe. My mom used it 60 years ago or more. She would slice the potatoes in rounds. Fattening yes. High in carbs. Yes. But oh so good.

These were very delicious. I used a shallot because I didn't have an onion on hand. I also added garlic salt and montreal steak seasoning. Thanks!

This has been my favorite Texas food since childhood. I love to eat the hot potatoes/onions with cold ketchup. There have to be some extra-crispy areas on the taters. Maybe we should just say it's great home cooking with working class roots?

WOnderful! This is just how I grew up eating my fried potatoes. It doesn't matter whether you slice them, chunk them, quarter them, or shred them, they are awesome. These must be done in a cast iron skillet, it just isn't the same in any other pan. I add lots of black pepper to mine as well. This is my favorite, but really unhealthy, way to eat potatoes. Wrap these in a flour tortilla with scrambled egg and serve with hot sauce, yummy! Great for breakfast or dinner as a side dish. Good Southern cooking.

I cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes first, then add the onions and peppers and cook for another 10 minutes... it keeps the onions from burning.

These are wonderful. I have been making them just this way for years. Sometimes I like to add just a touch of garlic. I also like to cover mine between stirring to help soften up the potatoes.

These are Wonderful! But, I have been making them all my life, and I am from Alabama. No matter where you are from, they are still great.

Don't know why they are called Kentucky Home Fries, you can get this in any diner in Pennsylvania! But, they are very good, I usually add some garlic powder as well, and at times I use them to make what I call a "Garbage Plate". Scrambled eggs, home fries, cheese, and bacon all mixed together--now that's good!!

Can't go wrong with something as simple as this. I do like to add the green pepper sometimes. Very hearty.

Very good potatoes. Not something we can get away with eating every day, but a special treat once in a while. I partially pre-cook the potatoes in the microwave (or use leftovers) so they cook up quicker and splatter less in the pan.
