How do you feel about potatoes? I know some people do not eat potatoes during certain time of the year, like summer. I don’t quite understand why, yet. But I love them!
Potatoes are some of my all-time favorite vegetables to cook – they’re versatile, but still hearty, and they pair well with all sorts of seasonings, such as this Haitian seasoning.
In my opinion, the key to loving potatoes of any kind is preparing them in the right seasoning as suggested. No need to over think them.
Why Are These Potatoes So Delicious?
- The potatoes are cut into bite size for even cooking. They are pan fried until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
- They’re tossed with onions and garlic – Not to mention the fresh thyme! These ingredients bring the richness of the potatoes to light.
- It might be hard to resist eating the whole thing straight out of the pan, but if you take the time to pair them with eggs, you’ll have a complete breakfast on the table that no one will be able to steer away from.
