Country Fried Potatoes and Onions on the Griddle

  • Country fried potatoes on the griddle are an easy side dish to make on your Camp Chef or Blackstone flat top grill. There are a million different ways to make potatoes on the flat top grill, but this is how my family likes them… Just like Granny used to make.
    Start by cutting your raw potatoes into cubes and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. This gets the starch off.
    Then, you can put your cut and rinsed potatoes on your cold flat top grill, no preheating necessary. I’ll tell you why in the video. Par-cook the potatoes on low until they’re about halfway done.
    Then, take your par-cooked potatoes off the griddle and toss them in flour. Shake off the excess flour and put the potatoes back on the flat top grill - Be sure to put down a liberal amount of oil or ghee on your griddle first.
    Season your potatoes with your favorite seasonings - I used black pepper, seasoned salt, regular salt, and garlic powder today. Then, continue to cook the potatoes until done. You will need to move all of your potatoes to one side of the griddle and put down more oil or ghee during the cooking process.
    Perfect for breakfast potatoes or even dinner. This is something that freezes well and you could pull out and warm up quick for that last minute breakfast potato skillet.
    Test your griddle country fried potatoes for seasoning and doneness. Enjoy!

    I have been watching your cooking videos for about a week straight binge watching them! So after 5 days I had no choice but to go down and buy myself 2 Griddles and season them. These potatoes and your Wings were my first try at cooking on a Griddle for my family of 8! I am glad I purchased 2 griddles or I wouldn't have had room to make both dish at once on my small 36 inch griddles!! But the food was amazing. My family is very happy with the results, So thank you from Alaska for inspiring a fellow Navy man into Griddle cooking! I see the Griddle working well with my Pellet grills and Big Green Eggs!! Again thanks from here in Alaska!! I the next year I will be trying most if not all of your recipes.

    Great idea to "par-boil" on the griddle. Rinsing the starches out does not seem to matter much.

    New to the channel. Really wanting to get a flat top griddle and your videos are giving me a lot if ideas. Just curious, why do you think its a waste to season your flour? Goes against everything I've been taught about cooking, just curious to hear your reasoning. Keep up the great work the things I've seen you cook so far look amazing and I can't wait to try them myself.

      1st Welcome to the family.
      2nd. Doesn’t matter what brand you buy on the flat top just get one. I am obviously partial to Camp Chef and have never regretted it. Way more Pros than Cons.
      3. Yes your right, season your flour......my theory is if in a commercial setting and the flour was being used and nothing left I understand. I have found you take 1 tablespoon of mixed seasoning in 1 cup of flour and have 2/3s left of flour which means all that seasoning is wasted. i would rather season the product before and after. Probably not culinary correct but its how I roll. Just think of the flour we have thrown out as home cooks. Now add all that seasoning to it. Just a lot of waste. I have blind tested some friends before with the 2 theory’s s and not difference was made when kinda helped my idea grow over the years. Sorry for the rant.

    I always partially cook my potatoes. I cut up the potatoes to the size I want. I usually microwave them to “par boil”. I just keep them stored in the fridge so I always have potatoes ready to go. The drier your potatoes the crispier they will get.

      @@TheFlatTopKing if you do it correctly when you cook all that water out, it is shelf stable for a long time. If you're anything like me, you can go do some research. Some people say it's indefinitely shelf stable. Some people say that it's good for up to a year. The way I look at it I'll take a couple pounds of butter, cook the water out, put it in mason jars and what I'm not using at the time. I put it in the refrigerator when a jar runs out. I've got on the shelf. I pull one out of the refrigerator. Seeing to use it. Almost potatoes made me perk up because that is an excellent oil to cook with. It still has that real good buttery flavor. That's what my wife wants me to cook her popcorn in instead of using vegetable oil and our popcorn popper. You don't even have to add any extra butter. You just put a little bit of salt

      Yes you can...sometimes depending on the amount of flour and heat vs amount of potatoes, etc yeah...just use good judgment..one tip can be to move potatoes half to one side lay down the oil and move all over...this allows the oil to heat up some before you add the potatoes...

    I might try this with potato flakes/ instant mashed instead of flour. It's not an uncommon gluten free sub for flour in applications like this.
    Spitballing... no idea if it would work...parboiling in a pot as if making salt potatoes, especially as you leave the skins.
    I like to cheat when cutting potatoes. I use an apple wedger to get relatively uniform pieces, before dicing if desired.

    I’m not sure why I watch this video through because flat top does it know what he’s talking about. It sounds like he’s making things up or perhaps googling and quickly reading something. If you throw potatoes on a Screamin Blackstone it’s going to cook them at the same rate not one quicker than the other and if it is you can pull one off. Actually what’s going to happen when you put something that’s 45° on the 350 or 400° griddle top you’re going to lower the temperature on that said top. I’m sorry I don’t mean to beat flat top up but when we walk to learn to cook we want to learn from those who really know what they’re doing not that have to Google or make up answers.
