Comments

Growing up in Kentucky, we eat a lot of potatoes, we fry them, mash them, bake them, roast them, boil them with their jackets on, or with them off for potato salad and yes even stew them, like this. We eat stewed potatoes, with white or pinto beans, goulash, pan fried okra, pan fried squash, pan fried green tomatoes, green onions, sliced ripe tomatoes, sweet pickles, corn bread, and iced tea. Then for dessert we may have pan fried dried apple or peach pies.

Note: There is a difference in Pan Fried things than Deep Fried things, all together a different taste.
