I have never made has browns from scratch as it is easier and cheaper to start with the frozen ones. Most restaurants use the frozen ones too. On the other hand fried left over mashed potatoes are also pretty good with breakfast.
Actually, I have done pretty well with home fries by microwaving the potato for 3 minutes, chopping it up, (I like to leave the skins on, but they peel off the hot potato real easily if you want to remove them) and frying it with onions and green peppers in bacon grease. You can of course fry them from raw, but that takes more than twice as long. I also have taken to nuking a large potato for 3 minutes, then baking it for 15-20 minutes in the heating oven (turned on just before putting the potato it the microwave. Save lots of energy compared to heating the the oven to 475 (actually 425 here at 3000') and baking (more than an hour total). Had one smothered in chili for last nights supper. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
