This will serve 4-6 people

Ingredients

20-30 Medium sizes Okra Pods
1/2 Pound of Bacon
4 Medium Potatoes
4 Eggs
Garlic Powder
Basil
Salt and Pepper
1 Cup of Oatmeal
1 Stick of Butter

Method

1. Take the okra pods and cut them into 1/2 inch chunks.

2. Cut the bacon into little pieces and fry to a crisp – Take out of grease and save it.

3. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks put the okra, potatoes and bacon into a large mixing bowl.

4. Add the 4 eggs and mix until everything is coated sprinkle in garlic powder, basil, salt and pepper according to taste and mix thoroughly.

5. Add in a cup or more of corn meal a little at a time and mix until everything is coated completely and a bit doughy.

6. Heat up bacon grease you saved and add a stick of butter.

7. When it is hot, add in the okra mixture a little at a time stirring to coat eveything in the grease.

8. Fry until golden brown, stirring almost constantly to break up the pieces so they don’t cook into one big piece. You want the pieces of okra and potatoes to be somewhat individual when done and you do this by continually mixing in the fry pan and breaking them apart as they fry.

9. Salt to tase and serve hot with your favorite meat.

Note From Grandma:

This is one of my husbands favorite vegetable dishes which he was taught how to cook when he was much younger. It goes perfectly with Southern Fried Pork Chops and I am going to include my husbands take on that recipe also.

He is an amazing cook and as stated at the beginning I will be including many recipes that he has either grown up with or that he and I have made up as we have gone along
