Very good! Lots of flavor & easy to make even for a camping trip foil dinner.

Don't know why they're called "Kentucky" homefries. I've always made them this way and am Canadian. (I also cook my pancakes in a small amount of bacon fat.) As suggested, I add onions half-way through. I don't any any salt, pepper, garlic granules or spices (summer savoury is my choice) until the last few minutes; otherwise, they burn and don't add much flavour. I don't recommend covering with a lid as someone suggested; they'll be soggy because they'll be steamed! If we have leftover steak from the night before, I slice and add for the last 5 minutes.

I grew up with these potatoes and still make them this way for my family. They're the best but even better with more onion and some garlic salt. Cayenne pepper makes them really special.

These are the best fried potatoes you'll ever make. My mom made this recipe when I was a child, and she called them "American Fried Potatoes." The secret is the bacon drippings!!! If you use any other kind of oil, your results will be mediocre at best. I use more onion than this recipe calls for, and more bacon drippings too. I also add garlic powder. I add potatoes to the heated drippings/skillet, cover, cook ten minutes on one side, flip potatoes over and cook another ten minutes. Perfection!

You can't go wrong with this one and it's always a hit! If you're feeling lazy, you don't even have to peel the potatoes.

Delicious! These "Kentucky style" home fries were very easy to prepare and very good. I cut the recipe in half and partially microwaved my potaotes to cut down on cooking time. The bacon drippings while I admit aren't the most "healthy" really gave the home fries a nice flavor. All I added a little garlic, a bit of salt and peper with a dash of paprika and they were perfect with eggs, bacon and toast. What more could you want for breakfast?

This is what my dad made for breakfast on the weekends as a side to eggs and bacon, we called it "farm food". He's from Missouri, I think this dish happens anywhere there's German influence. MO, PA, TX, etc. as it vaguely resembles a German potato salad. Anyway, it's the greatest of breakfast comfort foods.

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.
