Potsie's Trash Trinity

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 4 russet potatoes (well scrubbed or peeled and cut into uniform cubes)
• 1 large yellow onion (sliced, diced, or however you like it)
• 1 cup sliced okra (cut into half inch slices)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• garlic powder, to taste

Recipe

• 1 pour oil into a skillet with a tight fitting lid (preferably cast iron but go with what you have)and then add potatoes, onion, and okra and toss.
• 2 heat your skillet (with all of the ingredients) over medium high heat.
• 3 sprinkle with garlic powder and a generous amount of pepper. save salt for later(salting potatoes makes them "sweat". just like eggplant. you don't want them to do that while trying to brown them -- it will increase your cooking time.).
• 4 cover skillet with a tight fitting lid and cook over a medium high heat until potatoes are steamed soft, stirring about every 5 minutes. don't use a high heat yet -- you are not trying to brown the potatoes yet just get them soft.
• 5 they should be soft in about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your cubed potatoes. i like to cube mine relatively small- i think the end result is a better texture. (for me, anyway).
• 6 after potatoes are soft, remove the lid (and don't recover anymore) and turn the heat up to brown the potatoes. i usually only turn them two or three times because i like some of them browned and other ones still soft.
• 7 when browned to your liking remove from skillet and salt to your taste.
• 8 serve with ketchup if you must but a creamy gravy is better.
