01
Step 1
In a large resealable bag, combine the cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes, okra, and onion, then seal the bag and give it a good shake to coat everything evenly with the cornmeal mixture.

Step 2
Heat some oil in a big skillet over medium heat until it’s shimmering but not smoking. Carefully add the coated veggies to the pan and cook them, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the okra and onion are nicely browned—this should take about 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3
Once everything is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the veggies onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil. Enjoy!
