Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 i grew up on this dish. i fry the okra-potato mixture in batches and have to use more oil than this recipe calls for. Grandma's Fried Okra and Potatoes 1 lb. Fresh okra 2 Large potatoes (baking type -- not new potatoes) 1 Medium white onion, finely chopped ½ C Cornmeal 1 t Salt ½ C Vegetable oil ¼ t Ground pepper Wash okra and cut off stem ends. Cut in about ½-inch pieces. Peel potatoes and chop into ½-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.
