Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large pot, boil the potatoes in water with bouillion cubes added
  • {note: 1 cube per 1 cup water for proper bouillion mixture}
  • Boil the potatoes for 30 minutes
  • Take off heat and let the potatoes sit in bouillion mixture for an additional 15 minutes
  • In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat
  • Add chopped onion and crushed garlic
  • Stir the onion and garlic in oil just until the onion starts to get brown on the edges
  • Then add the lemon juice, stir and mix well, then remove the frying pan from heat and sit to the side
  • Drain the potatoes, and run cold water over them
  • Peel the potatoes, {this will be easy, the peeling will come off using your hands, its very easy, at least for most of them its easy, just don't burn yourself from a hot tater}
  • Once you get your tater's peeled, cut them into 1/2 inch to 1 inch chunks & pieces
  • Add the chopped potatoes to the frying pan.
  • Stir well to make sure potatoes are coated with onion, garlic, lemon juice mixture.
  • Then add the butter, and keep on stirring potatoes until butter is all melted.
  • Now add the seasoning, stir & mix well.
  • Cook an additional 30 minutes, until tater's are brown & crispy on edges and onions are all the way brown & crispy.
  • These tater's will go with just about anything, I serve them for breakfast with Eggs & country ham, or with Pork Chops Or Meatloaf for supper
  • mmmmm mmmmm good!!!!

    SWEETHEART - YOU DONE GOOD!
    All I can say it you know your taters!

    Made these last night with country fried steak, cube steak samiches, and French style green beans and I have to tell you that you got my 5!!! I had a friend over for supper and between the 2 of us the potatoes went - my friend says to tell you that the taters were "swingin"!

    I love a recipe that seasons well and has the right bite and this one does! I appreciate that you can really taste a hint of the lemon in the onions and taters.

    Thanks for sharing this one - it will certainly be added to my favorite recipes and will make time and time again!

    BTW: thanks for turning me on to Cavendar’s – soooo good!

    These taters sound great! I'll probably "up" the cayenne, though. We like the heat!
