These are a great and yummy alternative to regular old mashed potatoes!! This is a simple country recipe with it's origins from the British regions, then made it's way over to Canada and the US.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice potatoes into chunks or into round slices, I have cooked them both ways and both are good. It is just personal preference for shape.
  2. 2
    Boil for 10 minutes in salted water, drain in a collander. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat melt butter and oil in skillet.
  3. 3
    When butter is melted add onions. When translucent, add potatoes and seasonings. Cover and cook on one side for 5-7 minute. Flip and cook on other side for 5-7 more minute.
  4. 4
    Potatoes should be browned and crispy looking, but also a little soft. If butter ran dry during cooking add 2 more TB. Enjoy!

My family really liked this recipe. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will say that I reduced the salt content. I did NOT add seasoned salt and only added 1 tbsp of garlic salt. I substituted garlic powder for the other tbsp. Even then, they were still a little salty. I used red potatoes for this tonight, but think I will use russet potatoes next time as they have quite a higher lever of starch in them and would need the higher lever of salt for seasoning.

    These potatoes were very flavorful. I cut the spices from 2 tablespoons to 1 teaspoon each because I thought the 2 tablespoons would be to much for us. The 1 teaspoon worked out great for us. Thanks Jessica K. Bullwinkle.

    I'm sorry but this was wayyy too salty for us. I did not go with the 2 TBS, but I used 1TB and it was still to much. I also thought that the italian spices clased with the other flavors. I only used a teaspoon and a half. Mushy potatoes also. I might try this again, by using teaspoons and adjusting to taste and omitting the italian seasoning and the blanch time or omit blanching the potatoes.

    Even though I read all the reviews I was too hesistant to add the amt. of spices as listed, so I reduced them to 1 TBSP, and they were still incredibly salty. I cut the potatoes in 1/2" thick rounds, and didn't boil for the length that was listed at 8 minutes they were getting too soft. Will make these again, but cut back the spices to 2 TSPS., I'm thinking that it was a typo.
