Brägele is badische Bratkartoffeln, fried potatoes in local style.
Ingredients:
7 large potatoes
1 medium-sized onion
salt
olive oil and a bit of butter
100 g bacon
fresh parsley or chives, chopped
Preparation:
Brägele can be cooked from raw potatoes as well as with boiled potatoes. The boiled potatoes can be cut into slightly thicker slices.
Preparation with raw potatoes (classic):
- Wash, peel and cut waxy potatoes into thin slices. Peel and finely dice an onion.
- Heat some olive oil with some butter in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), add the potato slices and fry until golden brown for about 15-20 minutes, turning frequently.
- Just before the potatoes are cooked, add salt, diced onion and sauté (not too hot, otherwise the onions will become black and bitter.)
- Add chopped parsley (or chives) and bacon to the skillet for more flavor.
