    We have made these, not torn or deep fried since I was a kid. My mom would put left over baked potatoes in the fridge, fry them up the next morning for breakfast, and serve with fried eggs and toast. We still do. Craveable. Othing is ever really new.

    Very nice: refrigerating the potatoes after roasting them makes the starch resistant, a great benefit for diabetics since that greatly slows the digestion of the potatoes: no spike in blood glucose. (I roast purple potatoes, even more diabetic-friendly, and refrigerate those before eating.)

    This is very close to my home fries, but I use leftover potatoes that soaked in all the beef & seasonings flavors from being cooked in a pot-roast. I say leftovers, but really I add more potatoes than I need with the pot-roast to make home fries.

    These potatoes have got everything I've ever wanted in a home cooked french fry - really crispy on the outside, soft and "potato-y" on the inside, and so much easier to make! So what if they're shaped a little differently? While making these, I discovered that using a fork to break them apart works really well.

      @@morrismonet3554 How crispy the potatoes get is more a factor on how long they are cooked than either method. Look at fast food restaurants their fries aren’t particularly crispy. Air frying with a light dusting of oil is the best method I have found to make potatoes both crispy and less greasy. When you submerge potatoes in oil they absorb more and the more irregular the surface increasing the surface area the more oil they absorb. I have never had anything deep fried that was less greasy that air fired or potatoes cooked in a convection oven with a light misting of oil.

In the the morning we fried the left over potatoes for breakfast the same way. I learn to make this from my grandpa. Back in the 30’s he ate two things every day beans and potatoes. He said at dinner they would have a baked potatoes that they had wrapped in clay from the creek and baked in the fire (depression era aluminum foil). The next morning they would fry the left over potatoes for breakfast. this dish is nothing new, it has been a long time staple for many a family.

      Go back and listen to Brian talk while he does the aoli, it's basically mayo with lemon juice, garlic, cayenne I think and I forget what else, outside of some salt and you make it like you do mayo. I think he notes how much each ingredient used is. I do similar white a bit when deciding to make the dish. I in fact, did this over on Carla Lalli Music's channel last week when she did the lemon/brown butter pasta dish. Was able to replicate it, outside of not doing homemade pasta (no time) so store bought thin spaghetti was used instead. It was very good.
