Potatoes fried in a large amount of butter are going to be good aren’t they? This is not clickbait to tease you into reading a disaster story about how potatoes fried in a large amount of butter turned out NOT to be good. Because they definitely were good (it is a Vincent Price recipe after all). In fact, they were very, very good.
They were so good in fact that although I thought this batch of potatoes would be an accompaniment to two weeknight meals, but once I started eating them I couldn’t stop. I ate them all in one go. The whole plateful.
What a greedy guts lockdown life has made me!
Highly recommended fried potatoes! I couldn’t find Idaho potatoes here in the UK but the Ocado machine informed me that russets would be a good substitution and they were utterly delicious.

Oh my mouth is so watering now . I want some right now and it’s only 9.30 . But these would also be perfect as a lid to Nicol’s Stovie Mince Pie ! My Mum used to put a layer like this on the top of a Lamb Hot Pot cooked in the oven . There was nothing like cutting through those crunchy fried spuds on top !!
COR! I want some now too, and it’s only 8.50. Yes, good I deal about the Stovie Mince Pie. Now you have mentioned that, I want that too! Mmmm Lamb Hot Pot. Even though it is Spring, I still hanker after all that comfort food stuff.
To make it appropriate for breakfast (or anytime,really: fry an egg and place on top and maybe sprinkle on some bacon bits? That’s what I’m gonna do!
Christine! What a deliciously decadent idea. I feel another batch of cottage fried potatoes coming on!
