Fried Okra And Potatoes
1 lb. Fresh okra 2 Large potatoes (baking type, not new potatoes) 1 Medium white onion,
finely chopped
1/2 Cup Cornmeal 1 Teaspoon Salt
2/2 Cup Vegetable oil < Teaspoon Ground pepper
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 cooking 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.
