Louisa's Fried Potatoes

I'm sure there are plenty of recipes out there for fried potatoes, but this is Louisa's and I just plain think it's the best one. The Mrs. Dashes add just the right flavoring as this recipe is salt free.

INGREDIENTS:

6-8 medium red or all purpose potatoes

1 large shallot

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Dusting of Mrs. Dash original blend

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper to taste

PREPARATION:

Peel the potatoes! (Yes I know the "thing" today is leaving the peels on, but they are messy). Wash them cutting into quarters them cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Peel and thinly slice the shallot.

COOKING:

Set a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, when the rim is warm to the touch, add the olive oil and let it continue heating for a couple of min. then add the potatoes. Turn them about every 10 min., not allowing them to burn, just brown. After about 25 min., check for doneness.

They should still be a little firm; Sprinkle on the Mrs. Dashes and pepper to taste. Mix well with a spatula.

Add the shallots and continue cooking and turning until the potatoes and shallots are done. (Soft, but still in tact and not mushy).
