This recipe for Southern Fried Potatoes creates bites of potato that have a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior. The perfect side dish for breakfast or dinner!
In a 10-inch or larger cast iron skillet, melt the bacon grease over medium heat.
Add the potatoes, onion, pepper, creole seasoning, and salt.
Toss so everything is coated in the bacon grease and well seasoned.
Press into a single layer, cover, and cook for 7-10 minutes until the bottom browns.
Flip the potatoes, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to release the crusty potatoes.
Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally until nicely browned and the potatoes are tender. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
