Receta Dad’s Crispy Potatoes
Dad’s Crispy Potatoes are perfectly cooked. The outside is crisp, crunchy, and salty, while the inside is tender and fluffy.
I don’t make potatoes often, but dad would treat us to his special potato dish. We would literally stand by him and steal the potatoes as they cooked even before he had a chance to finish his dish. He often added fava beans, but us kids enjoyed them with just the potatoes and eggs.
I had the pleasure of touring the best potato factory just outside of Bakersfield, California. Tasteful Selections has taken the potato and created some fantastic selections.
I am a French fry fiend. If they are in front of me, I will eat them like there is no tomorrow. When I visited the farm, it brought back memories of my childhood. Mom did all the cooking, except Dad loved to barbecue and enjoyed making breakfast for the family on Sunday’s. On the rare occasion, he would treat us to his crispy potatoes with a scrambled egg.
Following dad’s method really gives these pan-fried potatoes the crispy, crunchy and fluffiness you love. I loved using baby potatoes because the skin is so thin you don’t need to peel them and they cooks quickly.
