Ah! I didn't realize they were frozen. Mine were fresh,they came out yummy,tender and buttery just not crisp. I haven't seen them at the market recently,if i do them again I'm going to try frying in oil (olive).
I wonder if we are on the same page with what "home fries" are? My mum used to take left over boiled potatoes the next night, cube them and sauté them in butter. Later travelling to the US, I found they were called home fries, which is a great name. They have some crunch, but they are not chips. That's not what I was trying to achieve.
haha probably not. What you describe is what my Dad (UK) used to define as part of bubble and squeak, the other part was spinach,I can never remember which was which. He definitely didn't fry in butter or oil, probably dripping from the last Sunday roast!
I thought you were trying to make a substitute for pan fried chips (as in chips you get with fish and C) that's what I was looking for!Not Potato crisps which used to come in a bag with a little bag of salt included!,
" Continental" English terms can be sooo different!!🤔
We are getting further apart. It's nothing like bubble&squeak, it's just plain boiled potato cubes, fried in butter. imagesvc.meredithcorp.io/v3...
I love the name home fries because it's the closest thing a home cook could make to fries/chips without dicking around with a huge vat of oil, at least in the days before oven chips were a thing.
I don't think it had a name in our house. Didn't need one. "I'll fry some potatoes for dinner"
The sauce should be lingonberry. Dietdoctor suggests cranberry as an alternative. I didn't have either (and both require added sweetener), hence using the berries I had. Added salt, pepper and chilli flakes.
But if you have lingonberries, that's much more authentic.
Ahh - that’s good to know. I’ve got erythritol and stevia in the cupboard, really only to try out a few different recipes where sweetener is a must but I haven’t tried them yet.
