Thanks guys who have responded directly. You didn't mention
boiling the cut up potatoes before frying. I have always boiled the sliced up potatoes for anywhere from 3-5 minutes...before putting them in the frying pan...for however long..
I also wonder, if there is a particular TYPE of potatoe that is best. I have used "Little RED" potatoes..as well as regular brown potatoes that I use for baked potatoes.
The ONE thing I have never done is GO GREASE......I use a few gobs of "I Can't Believe..." Maybe that's why my taties suck.
Maybe I need to take an extra Lipitor.....and GO for It.
We only DO..Either go out..OR stay in... for breakfast
on holidays. It's not an every weekend practice.

NB
PS: This past weekend, I boiled up the potatoes the night before, spiced them, and put them in the refridge over night.
