For the past several years, the Master Taste Tester and I spent several weeks in a self-catering cottage in the middle of nowhere in England’s Lake District. Even though the kitchen was fully equipped, we kept the meals very simple. One of our favorites was potatoes and onions, English sausage, and mushy peas. These potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and easy to make. They’re absolutely delicious for anytime meals. 

Anytime Potatoes and Onions

Ingredients 

I used the following ingredients for these wonderful Anytime Potatoes and Onions: Yukon Gold potatoes, onions, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil. The reason for using Yukon Gold potatoes is that they tend to hold their shape better than Russet potatoes. You could, however, also use red potatoes.

Making the Anytime Potatoes and Onions

I started by peeling the potatoes, then cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. I boiled them in salted water, just until they started to become tender. This took about 5 minutes. I drained the potatoes and set them aside for several minutes to ensure that they were fully drained. Meanwhile, I heated some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. I added the potatoes and let them cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Then I added the pepper and onions and let the mixture continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes were crispy and the onions nicely browned.

These potatoes are totally delicious and are one of our staple dishes. To replicate our Lake District meal, I served them with English sausage, and mushy peas. Yum!

I recommend serve these Anytime Potatoes and Onions with Glamorgan Sausages or English Breakfast Sausage.
