This recipe is proof that sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! I left the skin on my baby new potatoes, and these turned out delicious. Thanks for sharing! Made for the Herbaceous Curvaceous Honeys, ZWT8. -
Just love potatoes prepared like this! DH says there is a potato dish like this from every country in the world. I hope thats true. I had to fry mine for closer to 30 minutes, but like them a little darker, so that's probably the difference in time. I will make these again and again. Thanks for sharing, CJAY! -
How can you go wrong when frying up potatoes?! This is simple and delicious. Thank you for posting. Made for ZWT8 Family Picks. -
This really is an easy recipe to prepare. And the sliced potatoes end up so nicely seasoned and crisp. I added a few slices of onion, too (but only because I wanted to use them up). Thank you for sharing your recipe, CJAY. Made for ZWT8. -
Great side dish! I also left the skins on the potatoes and cooked a little longer to get a nice golden brown color on them. Think they would also cook nicely on the grill wrapped in aluminum foil. Made and reviewed for ZWT 8 - 2012 The Fearless Red Dragons.
