A Great Summer Side – Boil & Fry Potatoes

You know sometimes you have a great recipe and really don’t have much to say about it. That was me today. It’s grilling season and while the protein tends to reign supreme this time of the year, I am all about the sides. I came up with this dish while trying to figure out what to do with some potatoes that I had on hand. Potato salad perhaps? Mashed potatoes maybe? Baked potatoes meh…I was not feeling any of it. I decided instead to do a boil and fry and boy was I happy with that decision. They turned out awesome!

Note: if you don’t have any green seasoning handy finely chop a few of your favorite herbs, add a little pepper and you should be good to go
