    These make a great side dish. I did not use milk i used a beaten egg. I also used coconut oil rather then bacon grease, and found them very tasty. Thanks for the recipe,
    Made for the Sept. recipe challenge Sept.10/2017

    I am going to try this recipe.....It sounds yummy. I have always used eggs beaten instead of milk & they turn out very good, but I want to try this one. Anyone out there that thinks they may like it, give eggs a try. I promise you'll like it too.

    O man o man....I made these for a friend of mine-whose dad who works in Alaska...now he is hooked, funny thing is-you can't believe how much he pays for green tomatoes! Little slices of heaven everywhere! Worth every bit of it though!
