A Remembered Meal

Quite often when I use the oven for a roast or just for baking, I will throw a few potatoes on the bottom rack to bake too.

Multitasking the oven and the use of the fuel to heat it is always a savings.

With the leftover potatoes, I usually make them into hash browns which always go over really well in our house.

And since those potatoes are already cooked - those hash browns don't take very long to cook either.

I was whipping up another batch last night to go with the fish that my husband was cooking out on the grill.

He brought the cooked fish in and set it beside the pan of hash browns.

We both looked at each other with the same thought in mind.

It has been a good 20 years since we made a fish hash, but after 31 years together, I guess we think alike.

We chopped the fish and added it to the potatoes and onions.

It was as good as we remembered - and it stretched the fish and potatoes to make another meal.

We are a good team!

Potato Leftovers

Potatoes - I am not a big fan of them.

Rice and pasta are more my style of a sidedish, but the boys really like those potatoes, so they must be cooked sometimes.

A couple of days ago, I boiled a pan of them - too many of them I later found out.

Not wanting them to go to waste, I decided to make some homefries with them.

After cutting them up, I added an onion, some garlic, canola oil, and ground black pepper to the pan.

Cooking them over a fairly high heat, I let them brown on the bottom and get crispy.

Turning a few times to brown them all, they cooked up really nicely.

This is about the only way I like potatoes, and man were they good.

We will even have leftovers of them.

Quite a few meals out of that one pan - some good came from those potatoes after all!
