my heathen' way of dealing with taters is to microwave the hell out of them the night before.

then slice, with skin on (because of the fiber), and fry in peanut oil, or whatever ya got.

if i'm gonna do all that, i'll add sliced vidalia's nearly every time.

and if i've gone that far, i'll finish it with a layer of sharp cheddar on top. fry some eggs and bacon and your done. no bisquits cause that's too much carbos for the meal.

if the wimmen folks want to eat with us they can, but no complaining about ketchup over the top of the taters.
