fried potatoes

takes just a couple minutes to do and makes a great side for any meat or fish. either wash the outsides of the potato very well or peel - then cut into slices- be sure theyre all about the same width so they the cooking time wont vary. in a pot or saucepan heat an inch or so of vegetable oil and just when it starts to sizzle add a layer of the potatoes. after a 2-3 minutes turn them till each side is golden brown. remove from the oil and let them sit on paper towels to absorb excess oil. sprinkle with salt or crushed garlic and parsley for added flavor.

tip: try frying hot peppers first then the potatoes in the same oil for a spicier dish.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
