Home-Fried Potatoes, My Way

“What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.” A. A. Milne
I am a potatoholic from way back! It is an addiction I can’t kick and I won’t be going into therapy for it. I love potatoes prepared any way, with the exception of potato soup. There’s mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, potatoes au gratin, potato pancakes, roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, smashed potatoes, potato cakes, potato chips, garlic potatoes, potato salad, potato bread, French fries, hash browns, potatoes O’Brien, tater tots, waffle fries, potato fritters, potato skins and my favorite when growing up ~ fried potatoes, just like Grandma used to fry them ~ in lard.
Just don’t ignore your potatoes because the tubers can grow “eyes” and buds will sprout like aliens. If you forget about them, the aroma will lead you straight to them and if you haven’t experienced that, you’re the lucky one!
Fried potatoes from fresh potatoes are great but, what we really enjoy is fried potatoes made from cold baked potatoes ~ especially with breakfast! When baking potatoes, I always bake a couple extra to have on hand for fried potatoes. It’s quick and good! I savor every bite of them!
Potatoes served at breakfast,
At dinner served again;
Potatoes served at supper,
Forever and Amen!
