Basic Fried Potatoes
When I was young, I pored over ancient cookbooks. I couldn’t afford to take the family to dinner or fill a freezer with convenience foods because I was so broke. So I took what I learned from my mom and read every cookbook I could get my hands on, and started educating myself. If I couldn’t buy it, I would make it with inexpensive, bare bones ingredients. But first I had to learn HOW to make it. As we all know, we’re still in school 😂 my basics are, as an example, potatoes, eggs, cooked sauces, a chunk of meat, cakes, cookies, veg, etc. I’ve made a LOT of bad food in my life but I’ve also made really good stuff too. My first roast I ever made took 20 minutes, it was grey, and it bounced🤣🤣 With these basic recipes I’m posting, I’m hoping someone can get some good basic knowledge to feed themselves and their families good homemade food and not be a slave to the high prices. A sack of potatoes is cheaper than a bag of frozen fries and tastes waaaaay better and you get so much more bang for your buck with more than one serving and options.
