Home Fries

Easier than cooking them in the oven, and tasty too! Makes a good side dish or have them for breakfast.

4 large potatoes
4 TBS butter
Garlic salt

Don't peel the potatoes. Cube the potatoes into 1/2" pieces. Run cold water over the potato to wash away the potato starch. Dump the potatoes out onto a clean kitchen towel and dry with another towel. In an electric non-stick skillet (or use a non stick skillet on the stove), melt the butter. Add the potatoes, and stir to coat. Sprinkle garlic salt over the potatoes, and stir. Cover the skillet and cook potatoes med-high heat for 10 minutes. No peeking! Remove cover, stir. Replace the cover for 5 more minutes. Remove cover, stir. Cook for another 5 minutes or so without the cover.

Try olive oil and rosemary and salt sometime for a tasty alternative.

Yum! Like the Costco potatoes you can buy. Unfortunately, dh is not a fan of rosemary. So I'll make 'em for lunch!
