Japanese Style German Potatoes
A Japanese pub snack that was discovered generations ago. Few simple ingredients combined together creating a flavorful dish. It's actually comparable to the bacon cheese fries but without the cheese.

- 2 medium russet potatoes fingerling size cut
- 2-3 bacon slices
- 1/4 cup onion sliced
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. butter
- salt & pepper for added flavor
- oil for deep frying
- 1 tbsp. sweet rice seasoning mirin
Instructions
- sliced potatoes close to inches. Rinse in cold water and pat dry.
- prepare fryer. Add oil and turn the stove on in medium heat.

- Turn fryer to high heat. While potatoes are frying, Cook onions in the saucepan on medium heat. Cook for a few minutes.
- Add bacon and cook it until it turns light brown. Remove the rendered bacon fat from the pan.
- Use a wire strainer, take potatoes out of the fryer and transfer it to the saucepan.
- Add the rest of the ingredients: soy sauce, butter, and a dash of salt and pepper.
- As an option, add some mirin to balance out the saltiness and sweetness.
