Sunflower Seed Potatoes

"A tasty accompaniment to steamed fish, grilled or BBQd meats, which is also low in those fats which are bad for you. The sunflower seeds add texture and crunch as well as a good dose of energy-giving vitamin B1, a vitamin essential to all Zaar addicts spending long hours on the computer. Adapted from a 'Pan or Wok' recipe card from International Masters Publishers."

  1. I followed the recipe exactly, except I only used one red onion. Even so, the onion totally overpowered the potatoes....I had more red onions than potatoes just using one! (I suggest a measurement on the onions, instead of a number of onions) Otherwise, I made as posted. Unfortunately I couldn't even taste the sunflower seeds because of the overwhelming taste of the red onions. I hate to leave an unfavorable review, but no one at my dinner ate these potatoes. So sorry. Made for TYM Tag.
     
  2. The family was a bit surprised at the sunflower seeds in their home fries and really enjoyed this change of pace side. Made for Adopt-A-Tag from PRMR.
     
  3. We love sunflower seeds, so I was excited to try this, and I was not disappointed. Yummy! Made for PRMR.
     
  4. This is a good fried potato recipe. I love the addition of onions, oliveoil, and sunflower seeds. I've never put lemon juice in my potatoes and so this was a first. I wish the sunflower seeds would have come thru with more taste, but that could have been my fault in maybe not adding enough. All in all a good side dish to the brats served to the MEN in the family. Thanks Blue~ Made for PRMR~
     
  5. These were really tasty, I love the nbuttiness the sunflower seeds give the dish, mine did take a lot longer than 15 mins though but I did use potatoes with skin-on, could have made the difference. DH wasn't too fussed with these but I loved them, thanks for posting!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
