Home Fries - We sow the seeds

We love potatoes, oh the potato.  Today is potato planting day for our Zone 4b garden and it is Earth Day, so we all thought of the same planting joke this morning at breakfast:

So, go grow the seeds and then you can eat the seeds.

Ingredients

• 4 good sized potatoes, 
• 2 onions, sliced thinly
• 1/4 cup of olive oil (peanut oil would work well too)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Cube the potatoes into 1/2" pieces - we leave on the skins, it doesn't matter.
2. Rinse the potatoes in cold water and leave them to drain in a strainer.
3. Put a 1/4 cup of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (we love cast iron here) and toss in the oil.
4. Cover the skillet for 10-12 minutes and let it cook.
5. Remove the cover and add the onion.
6. Toss again and saute for another 10 minutes.
7. Serve and soak up the glory.

We like to serve this with scrambled eggs and a piece of good bacon.  Serves 4 hungry potato-vores.
