Home fries v. sautéed potatoes

[medtran49]

It's very old school over here though (not from the 1600s that I knew of, wow), something that was a popular phrase in the 1950s, maybe early 1960s. I was born in 1962 but I have 5 older siblings, one of whom was born in 1946, so I heard all kinds of popular culture words and phrases from those decades.

Bees knees!!!

Yes it’s a thing here meaning very good, it’s from somewhere around the 1600’s I think

There's a cocktail called bee's knees too!

Those can be called home fries as well depending on your location.

I've been known to cook up a baked potato half I couldn't eat for breakfast next a.m

That was my dad's favourite. That, and Sunday's roast potatoes. Dee-lish!

Yes, and I have microwaved a potato before chopping it up and getting a sear on it (my DH likes them crispy) to speed things along.

And or peppers.

I microwave also and add onions and peppers.

Great minds! I also like bit of semi-roasted garlic

Home fries to me are homemade French fries, but thicker and more irregular in size

I usually microwave and then chop or slice before putting them in the air fryer to brown. Sometimes I'll pressure steam them in the IP, 10 minutes for russets and 18 minutes for sweets.
