directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Melt margarine/butter over medium heat in a large heavy bottomed fry pan which has a heat resistant handle(I use cast iron)
  • When butter starts to sizzle add potatoes and let fry for 2 minutes.
  • Turn with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Continue until all sides of potato cubes are browned.
  • Place in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.*.
  • (Cooking time will depend on the type of potato used. Yukon Gold/Katahdins/Red Norlands take less time to cook than Shepradies/Russett/BellRus. Use your own judgement.).

  1. Good fries. I didn't peel mine but loved how simple they were. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. very tastey. Just like the diners down the street
     
  3. I did not start this one on the stove, nor did I peel the potatoes! I washed them, cut them, tossed them in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, sea salt and paprika. I sprayed my cookie sheet and baked 12 mins, tossed then another 12 mins. So fast, so easy, and sooooo tasty! I will be doing this again, and I love that I didn't have to dirty multiple pans too.
     
  4. These were really good! I added a little Paprika. Tastes much better than the frozen Home Fries! Just as easy to make too if you don't mind peeling potatoes. I will make them often.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
