These delicious home-fried potatoes make a wonderful, low-fat breakfast or side dish any time of day. Serve them with applesauce or try them with black bean chili and salsa!

Directions

Makes 4 servings

3 russet potatoes, scrubbed1 onion, thinly sliced4 teaspoons soy sauce1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder1/4 teaspoon black pepper5 to 6 cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters (optional)2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional) Cut potatoes into 1/2" cubes and steam until just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat 1/4 cup water in a large non-stick skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the water has evaporated and onion begins to stick to the pan. Scrape the pan as you add another 1/4 cup water, then cook until onion once again begins to stick. Repeat this process until onion is very brown and sweet. This will take about 15 minutes.

Add potatoes to onion and sprinkle with soy sauce, paprika or chili powder, and black pepper. Cook, turning gently with a spatula, until potatoes are golden brown. Garnish with tomatoes and green onions, if using.
