@nespith sorry about your Home Fries, did you cover them and how big did you cut them u?. If you cooked them for 45 minutes you are lucky they didn't burn the house down.
@humpingbird Not really..starchy veg require more salt then one would think..The big problem is she didn't use Kosher she used disgusting Iodine table salt..She also should have seasoned as she cooked..not all at once at the end..and I like to leave the skins on..lots of nutrients in the skin.
@fishfrizbee Next time I cook the Fries and your coming to dinner I'll keep the skins on just for you and me. Thanks for the comment, stop by anytime. Have a wonderful week.
@KidBeanie Yes sometime keeping things simple is good to. I also fancy them up with onions, green peppers, little bit of ham or bacon, garlic, salt and pepper.
@Levitikai I know yum right, my boys want eat the peelings of anything. They told me they want to eat something that taste good and if they want to have vitamins they'll take a pill. I myself when cooking for myself I leave the peelings on add some onions, red and green peppers, some garlic, and throw some bacon in for flavor.
@MrMrGuner - I don't know what you did but, try using a non-stick pan it might help. You could us a iron pan if it seasoned good. Let them get brown on one side before turning them, that might help. Thanks for the comment, Have a wonderful weekend.
I love home fries!! I really like the way you made the video! very relaxing and easy to understand! I am going to point this out to my newly married daughter who is always needing ideas !! I am new to Youtube and am loving getting to know people here!! Have a wonderful day!!
Thanks, that's the way my granny showed me how to cut, it not a safe way to cut. It's best if you chopped things on a board. I have never cut my hand with this knife, it's as thin as a razor and as sharp. I have cut my fingers with a dull knife.
@TooTiredTeacher It ended up working fine, they were just a different consistency I'm sure. and my pan stunk so they all stuck to the bottom. Tasted good though!
@Kylie66100 You can use any kind of oil, and you get you pan hot but not smoking hot (med) My mom use to make us fried potato sandwiches by cutting the potato like a potato chip but thicker, fried then put them on two slices of bread, salt and pepper, with a little garlic and ketchup.
@minDLessGFX Sorry for you mush Potatoes, you might have pushed them around too much before they were ready. It could have been the pan you used, did you use the lid? It's hard to tell, All I can say is give it another try and change just one thing that you did that might have cause them to go mushy. You could try not using the lid but you will have to stay right with them until they are done if not they will burn or Use a non-stick pan. Don't give up.
@TooTiredTeacher Thanks for the tip! I think it might have been a combination of things. Too much oil, I didn't use a metal spactula, and I used the wrong lid for about 5 minutes of the cooking time. My dad also gave me a tip, he said I should boil them for a few minutes, so the inside gets cooked.
the way you cut teh potatoes seem dangerous but it really isnt for an experienced cook like you. for a beginner i would say take it easy and go slow or just cut on the board.
@snowblazer12 It's not a proper way to cut things, I slipped up and did what I do with that knife most of the time. When cutting things up one should use a board an cut slow. I might need to redo the video using a board.
@snowblazer12 as i said its only dangerous to ppl without experience. and even cutting on a board you dont have to be slow. only beginners should be slow.
I got it from Pampered Chef, I can't remember what it is called, I use it to chop like meat in the pan as it is cooking and scoop my chopped veggies with.
@okthtsfunny , I remember,Thats a pastry cutter, from Pampered Chef. A tool can be use for many different things and in this video, I'll call it the tater lifter. :)
@ca1cifer One should not use a knife that way, you can cut yourself. It was my grandmothers, it was handmade and it's as thin and sharp as a razor blade. I have always cut veggies up that way. That's the way she showed me when I was a little girl. I try not to do that on videos but I forgot, I didn't think twice until I got a few comments. I've never have cut my self with that knife, but I have with others that was dull. That knife cut those potatoes like they were butter.
@TooTiredTeacher ok im going to try them. ive been wanting to steam them but i dont have a steamer, thanks for replying. one ? do u think these would be good as a side to a burger and as a side dish to scrambled eggs?
@sharkate7 Let me make you understand when I say steam. First I start off with a little oil in the pan and get them brown then I put the lid on them to steam them and just before they are done I take the lid off and push them around to finish browning them. We eat them for breakfast all the time and they are great as a side dish for anything. Ketcup is a must. On the weekends we eat a Paul Bunyon Breakfast - bacon,eggs,grits,home frys, bisquit and gravey,and pancakes. We don't eat lunch.
@clayprit When we slice them thick like chips, we make tater sandwiches with ketchup. What can I say we just love potatoes anyway you cut them up and cook them. Remember I'm from the south. There's more than 50 ways to cook a tater.
they should be boiled or stew down first b4 frying and i use butter, never oil..how bout some green and red peppers...make it more colorful...too much oil
Yummy I love home fries...Betty you have a very soothing teaching voice thats why I like teachers like yourself on youtube .. You all don't make it complicated.I have a request...Can you make Clam Chowder? the regular kind not the one with tomato's.Thanks
Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)
No, and I wouldn't that would put too much water into the potatoes, the ones I am cooking are raw, the easy way is to put the whole potatoes in the microwave first then cut them up and fry them,that really is the best way and put different kinds of seasoning on them like dry Italian dressing,garlic, or onion powder be creative you can even put cheese on top.
oh yeah we also call these smothered potatoes down south. i do these in the oven too w/o a top and they come out so crunchy and good and less oil is used! also i like to add a lil cheese sometimes..ooh laaalaa..
