Fried Potatoes

Teresa Ambra
Deliciously flavored Fried Potatoes is an old-fashioned recipe based on the way my Grandma used to prepare potatoes. It's wonderful for breakfast or as a side dish. We like to serve it for big country-style weekend breakfasts or holiday breakfasts. It's sumptuous comfort food as well as being hearty, filling and satisfying. Gluten free.

Notes

NOTE: While I mix and match the seasonings sometimes, I usually add all of the seasonings listed here. I highly recommend you don't leave out either the paprika or the dill weed because they provide such wonderful, savory flavors.
 
NOTE: Substitute avocado oil for the butter if you're trying to keep the recipe vegan.
 
NOTE: Grandma made her fried potatoes with onions, salt, pepper and lard. She sliced her potatoes.
