Musher's Fried Taters

A frequently asked for favorite at what we jokingly refer to as the Twenty Mile Kennel Bed and Breakfast.

Ingredients

• 5 medium diced potatoes (with or without skins, your choice)
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1 1/2 cups diced sweet peppers (mix green, red, orange or yellow)
• 1 cup diced onions
• 2 tablespoons bacon bits
• Seasoned salt to taste
• Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1. Scrub potatoes for skin on, or peel and dice 1/8-inch. Heat pan, add oil.
2. After oil is hot, add potatoes. Stir to coat all potatoes with oil. Fry and stir often over moderate heat for five minutes.
3. Add onions, peppers and celery, stir often while cooking.
4. Season with pepper and seasoned salt. Caution: you can always add more later - taste first.
5. Stir frequently to brown potatoes lightly on all sides.
