Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry potatoes with lard and onions in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Lard can be taken with a small amount of meat or without any meat streaks at all.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the potatoes, rinse them to remove dirt and cut into strips. In general, you can cut it into any shape, but I really like it into strips — it tastes better! Rinse the cut potatoes with water to remove excess starch. Thanks to this, the potatoes will fall apart less when frying. Then drain all the water.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the lard into slices. Heat the pan until hot and add just a little vegetable oil. Add lard and fry it for 3-5 minutes over low heat on both sides. When frying, fat will appear from the lard itself. So you wonʼt have to add any more oil.

Peel the onions, rinse and finely chop.

Step 6

Step 6
Then place the washed potatoes in the frying pan, mix them with lard and fry until tender, stirring occasionally. Frying usually takes 15-20 minutes. If you want a crispy version, do not cover with a lid.

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!
