Oh My Word Potatoes

The BEST guilty pleasure, loosen your belt, stuff your face, potatoes you'll ever eat. Outstanding with ham or pork tenderloin, but nicely compliment fish, beef or chicken dishes as well and once you have them you'll want them again & again. I got this from Aunt Ginger, and it's one you'll pass down too. They make GREAT fried hash browns the next day.
