I just had fried tators tonight for supper. I was born and raised in Kentucky and have been eating fried tators since I was in diapers and sitting in a high chair. I have fried tators at least 3 nights a week. I make them with my steak, chicken livers, fried tuna patties etc. But My all time favorite is with just macaroni & tomatoe juice, and lucks pinto beans (in a can, yes I know, they normally should be homeade but i like the can better its quick and easy) If im home alone hungry and dont feel like fixin a whole meal, Ill just eat them by their selfs. Yummy. They sure are a southern comfort meal. When I cut them up I do it differently depending on what time of day it is. I slice them for dinner, small french fry type for breakfast and cube them some times when I feel froggy. And for breakfast I usually dont like to brown them, just cook til tender. Anyway, I love me some fried tators. And I just wanted to thank you for posting this with pictures and this is the best internet display I have ever seen of fried tators. Thank you! S. Lewis Hazard, KY Howdy!

I've had a love affair with them (and potato pancakes) since I was a little girl. I like to fry hot dogs in with them (till they are black!), and an onion and a green bell pepper. So yummy. Making my stomach growl just thinking/typing about it. :) I have the same Corelle serving bowl that you served those potatoes in. And the set to match called English Breakfast. I got them for a wedding present in 1996, and they still look good, 13 years later! Gotta love Corelle! I loooove fried potatoes!

In fact, she made them so much that I finally got burnt out on them! I couldn't look at a fried potato for years! Maybe I could eat some now. If they were cooked right! I loved it when she made potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes, but that didn't happen often! I guess we didn't usually have enough leftover mashed potatoes to do it!

The only time we would have something different was when Mom fixed mashed potatoes. I rarely have fried potatoes for my family. I do miss putting gravy over them for breakfast :) We always had fried potatoes with our Sunday breakfast and just about every night of the week also.

There's nothing better to use when frying potatoes. I always use bacon grease swiped on with a paper towel when making pancakes too (black cast iron skillet) and my grandkids say I make the best pancakes in the world. Just a thought.
