Take bratkartoffeln, for example.
And for good reason.
What Are Bratkartoffeln?
Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek
To make them, you simply need potatoes, vegetable oil or clarified butter, and an onion.
Each slight variation claims to be the best, the crispiest, the most like grandma used to make.
Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

Simple Tip!
The cook time for your potatoes will depend on their size.
You may want to check on small potatoes earlier, and large potatoes will take longer.
When done, drain well into a colander set in the sink.
Carefully (because theyre still hot) slice into rounds between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick.
Add the oil to a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Flip them and let cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the cooked potatoes back into the pan and add the onion, bacon, and butter.
Leftover bratkartoffeln will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
