Bratkartoffeln (German Domicile Fries)


Ingredients:
one 1/2 lb modest xanthous potatoes, parboiled
two onions, halved in addition to thinly sliced
4 strips thick cutting bacon (preferably High German bauchspeck), cutting into 1/4 inch pieces
two tablespoons minced apartment leafage parsley
body of body of water salt
freshly dry reason dark pepper

Directions:
Peel in addition to spell the potatoes. Heat unopen to canola petroleum inwards a pan. Saute the onions until they are a deep gold, well-nigh 20 minutes. Add the bacon in addition to create until nearly fully cooked, well-nigh v minutes. Add the potatoes in addition to create until they are browned in addition to cooked through. Sprinkle amongst parsley, tabular array salt in addition to pepper. Serve immediately.


My thoughts:
I was looking upward the Definition of abode fries the other twenty-four hr menses in addition to came across a yell of bratkartoffeln, the High German version abode fries. I hadn't heard of them before but when I read what they were (basically potatoes fried inwards bacon in addition to onions sprinkled amongst parsley) answered a inquiry I'd e'er had well-nigh abode fries. Why were the home fries my Grandpop would make thence proficient (and made amongst bacon in addition to onion) in addition to the abode fries I'd arrive restaurants thence irksome (mostly only plainly fried cubes of potatoes)?

I mean value my Grandpop was making a version of bratkartoffeln, mayhap without fifty-fifty realizing it. I had a similar eureka 2nd before inwards the yr when I discovered that the "meat cakes" he had been making were real similar to frikadellen, unopen to other High German dish. It makes sense, cheers to a ton of High German immigrants inwards Baltimore inwards the 1800s nosotros ended upward amongst a lot of High German influenced recipes (like sour beef, Baltimore's gingersnap-laden reply to sauerbraten) in addition to smearcase (the German/Penn-Dutch influenced Baltimorean reply to cheesecake) that were made yesteryear many Baltimoreans whether they bring High German heritage or not.

Much similar this bratkartoffeln, which is real similar to the home fries I ate growing up. The major divergence is inwards the technique. This recipe has y'all caramelizing the onions, thence cooking the bacon in addition to thence adding parboiled potatoes. Grandpop's abode fries bring y'all cooking the bacon, removing it in addition to draining the pan before cooking the onions in addition to raw potatoes together in addition to thence adding the bacon dorsum in. Both are delicious but the season inwards bratkartoffeln is richer (no draining of the fat) in addition to deeper (very caramelized onions, real browned potatoes) than the abode fries. Grandpop's version is a fair flake healthier, I'd wager in addition to real proficient equally well.
