- Do not touch potatoes until they are browned on one side.
- Flip potatoes over, and sprinkle the second half of the seasonings on (minues the dried onion.) Do not touch until potatoes are browned on second side.
- Add dried onions and continue flipping and cooking (you may want to lower the heat) until potatoes are evenly browned and serve hot!

Because I took a pretty major liberty with this, I'm not going to give it a star rating, but I do want to review. I used lots of oil and stirred frequently, so all the little cubes were crispy all the way around and separated. I also used a little fresh onion. I loved the crispiness of this cooking method, but my husband didn't. Either way, were were agreed that we didn't like the oregano on these. That surprised me, because I love oregano. I'll make potatoes like this again, but I'll stick to salt and pepper.

These were just wonderful! I actually made these for Brunch today - I used all the seasonings suggested, and also popped in a few chopped spring onions too, green onions/scallions. I loved the way that they were mashed in places, and yet crunchy with crispy bits - Malcolm and I had a tussle who would get the last "brown" bits in the pan!! Made for the Beyond Breakfast Photo Event in the Photos Forum - a great recipe for easy one pan spuds! Thanks. FT:-)

I started cooking just by helping my Mom out in the kitchen as a little girl. I preferred baking over cooking, as I loved getting all into measuring things and stirring. I always got to stir!
However in the past 5 years I've been the one responsible for making nightly dinners. At first this consisted of the same 10 or so dishes in a constant rotation, but that quickly became boring and I remembered how much my Mom would complain when I was younger about how she always made the same things and she never knew what new dishes to try! Obviously 20 years ago, Zaar wasn't around!
I still cook a lot of the same type of dishes my Mom cooked when we were younger and I try to incorporate as much fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs into my meals as possible. However Melvin's favorite food of all time is fried chicken so... I make sure he gets a fresh vegetable on the side!
My favorite cook book is my staple cookbook which is the old red and white Better Homes Cook Book. My only pet peeve about cooking is bland food!
