Skillet-Fried Potatoes with Kefir
A pairing you've never tried — and it's wonderful! Fried potatoes with kefir: the name alone hints at how unusual this dish is, and it's absolutely worth a try. Its especially tender flavor and texture make it light enough for anyone eating carefully or watching what they eat. (Kefir is a tangy cultured-milk drink, much like a thin, pourable plain yogurt or buttermilk.)

- Fried potatoes are a favorite for so many, but there's more than one way to make them. Pairing them with a cultured-milk product gives the flavor more depth and an incredibly tender finish. Here's a new take worth bookmarking for your everyday menu. Peel the onion and potatoes, then rinse them and drop the vegetables into a bowl of cold water — this saves you tears while cutting the onion and keeps the potatoes from browning before you get to them. Finely dice the onion. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil, add the onion, and cook, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch (which would add an unwanted bitterness); it will gradually turn translucent, then start to take on a golden color. Cut the potatoes into thin sticks. Once the onion is golden, add the potatoes, season with salt, and stir well. Fry uncovered until the potatoes are nearly done, then add ground black pepper at the end. Stir the potatoes as they cook, but gently and not too often, so they don't break down into mush. Now pour in the kefir. Stir the contents of the skillet and cover with a lid. At this point you can lower the heat a little so the liquid doesn't boil too hard or evaporate all at once. Let the potatoes braise in the kefir for about 10 minutes, watching the liquid level — it should cook away. As soon as all the kefir has been absorbed into the potatoes, turn off the heat and serve. These fried potatoes with kefir are best sprinkled with a little chopped dill or parsley and served alongside pickled tomatoes or cucumbers. The dish makes a full meal on its own or a side for cutlets and fried, boiled, or roasted meat or fish. Enjoy!
