Reminds Me of Prince

As my bestie would say, ohmigosh! I can't believe I have slacked this much on my writingz. Well, what better place to start back into it than purple potatoes! We picked these up at a farmer's market. For no other reason, really, than because they were purple. We ate them baked, although I had the desperate urge to make mashed potatoes out of them. I wish they tasted as awesome as they looked. There weren't bad by any means, but very plain. I know, duh. But I mean even more so than a regular potato. Still. A+ in the looks department.

Home fries

K and I love fries. But frozen ones are kinda gross. So we have tried tons and tons of times to make the perfect fry on our own. I think we finally have it. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum!

We dice the potatoes up, and find yukon golds work best. Then we microwave them for about 10 minutes or so, until they are 1/2-3/4 cooked. Once that is done, we pan fry them in olive oil, dump em out on paper towels, and toss with salt.
Now I know I should have taken a finished picture, but I didn't. So there.
