"You can use any kind of stock you want, depending on the flavor of the main dish you serve these with--beef stock if you're serving beef, chicken stock with chicken--or use vegetable stock for a completely vegetarian dish. You can even use water if you absolutely must. A cast-iron pan is preferred. Do not use nonstick. Adapted from the Prudhomme Family Cookbook."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat oil in a very large skillet over high heat for about 1 minute. Add potatoes, onions, salt, peppers and garlic, stirring well.
Step 2
Cook about 10 minutes. Each time mixture begins to brown and stick excessively, stir and scrape pan bottom well.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low and cook until mixture is mottled brown throughout, about 20 minutes, stirring and scraping only occasionally.
Step 4
Add 1/2 cup stock and scrape pan bottom well. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring only once or twice.
Step 5
Add 1/2 cup additional stock and cook another 5 minutes, stirring and scraping well, and breaking up about half of the potato pieces. Potatoes should be half creamed and half lumpy.
Step 6
Add remaining stock and green onions, stirring well. Cook about 5 minutes more, stirring and scraping occasionally.
