Smokey Hash Browns

I made these for a brunch 2 weeks ago and a dinner party over the weekend and they were very well received at both.   A versatile and slightly different potato dish.  The recipe below feeds 6.

6 medium-large potatoes
1 large onion, cut in half and then into slices
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
a pinch of red chili pepper flakes
3-4 tbsp. olive oil
2-3 tbsp. bacon fat (optional)

Scrub the potatoes well and cut them into large bite sized pieces.   Boil them until they are fork tender and drain them well.

While they are boiling, in a large saute pan, wilt the onions and garlic in with the salt.

Once the potatoes are drained, add them and the rest of the spices into the pan, mix well, and then let them cook on one side until they get browned and crispy.   Turn them over as much as possible and repeat the browning, adding extra olive oil and/or bacon fat as needed.
