Loaded Fried Potatos

This is a combination of a couple of recipes from various cooking shows, heavily salted boiled whole potatos, boiled potatos smashed and fried and a little of my own spin. :::: DISCLAIMER:::::: This is NOT a dish for the health conscious or those on a diet :::: DISCLAIMER:::
 

Step 1 Round up your supplies

For this recipe I rounded up some small red potatos, about a cup of salt, some bacon, an onion, some cheese, a medium size pot and my trusty cast iron skillet

Hey l8nite,

I like your straightforward recipes, in this one though, on the salt, when you say, "5 handfuls", what would you say (wild, ballpark, guess) that would be in maybe tablespoons, or quarter-cups, or whatever?

Thanks again for the interesting ideas!

cheers

I'm glad you like my recipes, I don't think of myself as a cook or chef, just a dad who enjoys eating and who has learned over the years how to make inexpensive dishes tasty, of course some of my experiments in the kitchen have been less than well received (LOL)

If you look under the supplies, I put about a cup of salt, which is about 5 good palm fulls for me. As this was the first time I made these it was just a guess on my part, ( I thought that was a LOT of salt) in retrospect I could have doubled or even tripled the amount of salt, the cooked potatoes should have an almost white crust of salt when cooled. Of course you don't have to salt them much at all if you don't want or add gralic to the water or use cannola oil instead of bacon grease.

If you do make these please let me know along with and changes you made or would make for the next time
