Delicious Tomato Fried Potatoes Recipe

These tasty tomato fried potatoes can be a yummy side dish or a full meal when paired with a fried egg. To make them, you'll need russet potatoes, onion slices, tomato paste or powder, and some spices. A bit of lemon juice adds a perfect finishing touch. They go great with pork or roasted chicken.

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 1 lemon
• Optional: 1 tablespoon of tomato powder
• 1 teaspoon of celery salt (or to taste)
• Black pepper
• Red chili pepper flakes
• Onion powder and garlic powder
• Dried parsley

Instructions:

Wash the potatoes and boil them whole (with the skins on) until they're tender but not falling apart, about 25 minutes.

While the potatoes are boiling, sauté the sliced onion in a skillet with butter until they're soft and golden. Season them with celery salt, black pepper, and dried parsley, along with garlic and onion powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Drain the boiled potatoes and let them cool slightly. Then, cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch).

Add olive oil to the skillet with the onions, then add the potatoes. Toss well to coat them in the butter and oil mixture.

Spread the potatoes evenly in the skillet and let them cook without stirring too much. You want them to develop a crispy texture on the outside. Allow them to cook for about 10 minutes before flipping them. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times until all sides are crispy.

In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste with about 1/4 cup of water to make a smooth paste. Pour it over the potatoes. If using tomato powder, sprinkle it over the potatoes along with red chili pepper flakes.

Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the tomato mixture. Squeeze lemon juice over the potatoes and taste. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Finish with a sprinkle of dried parsley before serving.
