Delicious. Next time I will cut them thicker and keep them round, perhaps the size of silver dollars. These were an excellent alternative to potatoes!

I have tried for years to fry up polenta and it always spits and makes a mess. This was PERFECT! I used leftover Recipe #175316 for the polenta. This time when I made the polenta, I had spiced it up a fair bit with some chipotle chili pepper and some monterey jack with jalapeno peppers, so I didn't add in the italian seasoning or pepper. I simply gave it a sprinkle of salt while it was still warm. This went perfectly with a nice cool, creamy salad this afternoon. Thank you SO much for this!

I really liked this dish! They came out nice and crispy. Nice to fine a recipe that's a little different than the norm. Great flavor, easy preparation, I would definitely recommend. Thanks for sharing!

Not much in the way of defining taste, for my family !! Potatoes in the same fashion would have had more tast. Probably won't do again. Fixed with #220683 - Greek chicken, and sautead portabellas. Thanks for posring. Janey
