  1. Step 1:

    How to fry potatoes with bacon and onions in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Lard can be taken with a small amount of meat or completely without meat veins.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Peel the potatoes, rinse them from dirt and cut into strips. In general, you can cut it into any shape, but I really like it with straws - it tastes better this way! Rinse the sliced potatoes with water to wash off excess starch. Thanks to this, the potatoes will fall apart less when frying. Then drain all the water.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Cut the fat into slices. Heat the frying pan to a hot state and drop quite a bit of vegetable oil. Put the lard and fry it for 3-5 minutes on low heat on both sides. When frying, fat will appear from the very fat. Therefore, you will no longer have to add oil.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Then put the washed potatoes in a frying pan, mix it with lard and fry until tender, stirring occasionally. Frying usually takes 15-20 minutes. If you want to get a crispy version, then do not cover it with a lid.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    At the end of cooking, add a little salt to the potatoes. You can add some dried aromatic herbs. Sprinkle with green onions before serving. Bon appetit!

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
