Fried Potatoes With Catsup

As a poor kid growing up in Illinois my siblings and i were raised on this inexpensive meal. i made the best fried potatoes in the house, so it was my job to cook them. the reason why i use vegetable oil all the time is because im an Illinois native. Read more vegetable oil is soybean oil and we are corn and soybean people. corn, soybean,corn, soybean, corn...and so it goes on for years and years. i wouldnt know a canola or safflower if i saw one, but if you have that use it. make this as an easy comfort food when you want a hot brunch in front of the TV. please, if you rate this do so based on this cheesy story and not the potatoes.

Ingredients
- vegetable oil shopping list
- 8 peeled (or unpeeled) potatoes, srcubbed under running water shopping list
- ground black pepper shopping list
- garlic powder shopping list
- catsup as a condiment shopping list
How to make it
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of vegetable or corn oil into a 10 1/2" cast iron skillet. heat. holding the whole potatoe in your hand over the skillet and a paring knife in your good hand, cut slices directly into the oiled skillet. if you feel too dangerous with that slice potatoes on a cutting board. after all the potatoes are sliced and in the skillet, sprinkle with black pepper and garlic. turn potatoes every 10 minutes, without smashing or breaking them. at this time also prevent others from trying to help turn the potatoes. sprinkle again with pepper and garlic at each turning until the potatoe slices are nicely browned. blackened, ok. serve on a plate with a side of catsup.

I grew up on this stuff, except for my Momma used to slice them in thick straws, almost like chunky French fries. Thanks for bringing back the childhood memories! High 5 from me!
