2
ingredients
- 6 -8 new baby potatoes, skin on
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- garlic salt
- 2 green onions
- salt
- pepper
directions
- Wash potatoes and poke with a fork to prevent splitting.
- Place in microwave for about 4 minutes until potatoes are cooked but not mushy. If you overcook them they will fall apart in they frying stage.
- If you have asbestos fingers, cut spuds into quarters now, otherwise wait until they cool.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan. Ensure it's hot enough so the spud sizzles as it hits the oil.
- Fry until potatoes are golden on all sides, season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic salt.
- Toss in finely sliced green onions and stir through.
- Serve hot with ketchup for dipping!
- Options:Try seasoning spuds just before frying by dusting with a packet of Mexican taco spice, or while still hot toss with parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have a passion for cooking simple, great tasting, nutritious and delicious food. I don't have time for anything that isn't fool-proof, I'm just a home cook that wants to make the most out of my weekly grocery budget in interesting yet quick ways! My recipes are not complex, but they are very tasty, tried and true! I'm a firm believer that not EVERYTHING has to be made from scratch for good tasting, satisfying food. You could call me the Queen of Semi-Homeade Food!
I grew up in Canada but have lived in Australia for 7 years and my tastes have changed, so has my cooking style...I'm open to new and different flavours.
