I have had fried alligator four or five times and have always liked it.

I like it when some people substute Chicken in the recipes instead of Gator.

Apparently there are different CUTS of Gator.. not just Tail Meat, ..there is even Tenderloin.

I'm not a big fan of deep frying. NB

When I think of down home cooking - "not the fancy stuff" - but the foods I'd ask my mom to make when I was home visiting, I think of...

Boston baked beans with salt pork
haddock chowder
American chop suey
boiled dinner
blueberry pie
fish n chips w/ coleslaw
hermit cookies/bars
pea soup with ham (you can stand a spoon up in it) & cornbread

and then there's the stuff that you can't find anywhere but New England - like marshmallow fluff, CoffeeTime syrup, and OnePie pie fillings.

I have been doing Breakfast Home Fries at home for 40 years off and on. MY Home Fries Still Suck compared to most diners that do breakfast. Can anyone tell me the Secret to good Home Fries...?

NoBozo...

I feel your pain! I too cook breakfast all the time and find
my homefries, while quite good, fall short of *some* of the
lakes region restaurants. Although I must say that many area
restaurants are woefully lacking in the home fry department
(and don't even get me started on places that serve canned
corned beef hash!).

I believe the secret to great homefries are threefold:

1) Crispiness.... time on the grill counts.
2) Seasoning.... salt, pepper, garlic, paprika etc... bonus
points for added bits of veggies.. onion
and green peppers for example.

And finally... and most importantly....

3) GREASE!! Bacon, Sausage, and (homemade) corned
beef residue on a well seasoned grilltop
puts homefries over the top!

Extra bonus points for tossing a pat of real butter into the
mix at some point!

Gracious apologies to the Cardiologists who frequent these
forums!

Cheers....

Gusman

BTW... VK homefries *ROCK*!
