Fried potatoes

It's fried potatoes.  They are nice.

Ingredients

- 1 large potato

- 1 spring onion

- 1 pinch mixed herbs

- 1 pinch salt

- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil


Notes

Make as much or as little as you like.  How many potatoes you use will determine how much oil you need.  Choose wisely.

Onions should be spring onions ideally.

Peel and chop

Peel potatoes.  Chop into cubes. 

Meanwhile, put some oil in a pan.  How much you use is dependant on how many potatoes you have.  You don't want  to cover them in oil - about 1/4 up.


Warming

Warm the oil up - not too hot but not too cold. Hot enough to gently fry potato.

Boil cubes for about 10 mins in lightly salted water.

Drain cubes and GENTLY put them in the oil.  Add half of the unspecified amount of spring onions that I forgot to tell you to finely slice in the last section (use the green bit too).  Give it a light sprinkle of  salt and some ground ginger (which I also forgot to mention). Cook for 10-15 mins in the pan, waiting for the taters to become golden brown and crisp as a winter morning.


Get 'em out

I strongly suggest plonking the taters on some kitchen roll before plating them.  Serve with some delicious BBQ sauce for a dip (or ketchup or whatever, it's fried potatoes.  They work with anything).  Have some gravy if you want. 

Anyhoo, once you've put on a plate, sprinkle some pink himalyan (spelled wrong I think) salt and the rest of your spring onions delicately on top.  If you want.  Not bothered.


Summary

There you have it - an incredibly convoluted description of how to fry potatoes.  You'd be amazed how many people get it wrong, or don't boil them a little first.  Rookie mistake.
