    My mother used to make something similar to this. She was born in 1921 in Athens Alabama. I grew up eating pinto beans, corn bread and fried potatoes. I’m healthy having grown up eating this inexpensive food 😁

      Know this is a year or so old, nevertheless, three of my absolute childhood and continued adulthood favorites. Memories of mom😊😊. Arkansas. Then. North when I was 10.

      I grew up eating the same and still eat it off and on. I’m 86. I’m from Alabama.

    This is how I make fried potatoes, except I use bacon grease. Yummy

      It turns out bacon grease is a lot healthier than vegetable or canola oil! Good job!

    I like that you're generous with the salt and pepper-especially the pepper!

    I absolutely love your Red & White Enamel ware lid! It reveals how much it has been used in preparing food for the table I'm sure with so much love over the decades...(Circa 1940 & earlier on the Red & White)...
    My grandmother (She was a Tuscaloosa Gal) used to make these smothered fried potatoes often...I have tried & tried to replicate them 100s of times and mine NEVER turn out like Maw Maw's!
    I thank you so very much for your videos & this one in particular....maybe now...I can make these without them turning to mush!
    ❤️&🙏

      Use bacon grease, it seasons them better.

    The potatoes look great. This is how my mother taught me. She also taught me not to throw away things that still work so I have many items like that lid and I wouldn't change it for anything. Thanks for the great video and memories.

    I cook my potatoes simar. Smothered Fried Potatoes sounds way better than what I call mine which is pan fried potatoes.
    Your knife skills are amazing.

    I love smothered potatoes! I haven’t made them in years. But I will be cooking them today! The only thing that I do differently is to cook bacon in them, cut up in small pieces. Thank you for reminding me of this Ms.Margaret! Have a blessed day!🙏🏻♥️

    She went from saying "oil" - properly pronounced . . . to "ohl" - which the printed subtitles interpreted as "old one" . . . and "browning" was pronounced "browndin' " and I couldn't help wonder what a foreign person might have thought of that. But the recipe - was wonderful . . .

    I've been doing it all wrong , but I get the same results. I brown my potatoes first not using a lid. Then when they are sufficiently brown I put the lid on to cook them. But doing that will take away some of the crispness. Then I turn heat up to crisp them back up without a lid. So basically you are working smarter, while I'm working harder. Next time I will do it your way. Thanks for sharing.

    Margaret, oil? Really? You must be out of lard LOL! Bacon grease works to but that has to be saved for sawmill gravy ;) Anyway, looks delicious!

    I live in Texas and love food like this but I don't understand how they can be called "smothered"? This is fried skillet potatoes and onions here. Could someone elaborate? They look delicious btw.

    Miss Pepper; I must ask, did you wash those red potatoes after cutting them up or did you leave the starch in them on purpose?

    My mama used bacon grease for fried potatoes, and kept putting that cover on! So good!!! Miss my Mom so very much. She passed in 1975, but it feels like yesterday. Praise God for His promises. We will be together one day soon😁🇺🇸🙏

    You never showed any grease going in that pan. You sprayed it with Pam. That’s all we saw.

    Why are people calling fried potatoes, smother-fried? They're not smothered in anything.

    • @gretaoverstreet8572
      @gretaoverstreet8572 Год назад +4

      They are called " smother fried" because the pan is covered (smothered) during cooking.
