Grandma'S Fried Okra And Potatoes
- 1 lb fresh okra
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup bacon drippings (or you can use vegetable oil, but it won't taste as good!)
- Wash okra and cut off stem ends. Cut in about 1/2-inch pieces. Peel potatoes and chop into 1/2-inch dice. Put okra and potatoes in large bowl. Add chopped onion to mixture. Sprinkle cornmeal, salt and pepper over mixture. Stir until cornmeal is evenly distributed throughout mixture.
- Heat drippings or oil in large skillet over medium heat (oil should be hot, but not smoking hot). Carefully spoon okra/potato mixture into hot oil. Fry, turning mixture occasionally, until potatoes are done and mixture is nicely browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Makes enough for 4 or 5 hungry people.
