Spice up those boring eggs with Jacqueselini’s Wet Potatoes – Side Dish

Put aside those boring eggs and spice up your morning with my Wet Potatoes recipe!

A side dish doesn’t get any better than this, especially at breakfast, the time usually reserved for wakin’ up, and you can take dat’ to the grocery bank! But have no fear, mes amis, cuz you’re gonna’ be poppin’ those taters and peppin’ like a pissed off alligator after trying this one!

Look out, momma! She just ate one of those potatoes!

We like em' fried and burled!

A wise man, apparently stuck in my head, once said:

“Success is more about having the right technique and less about having the right ingredients.”

Yes siree, dat’s my quote! But you can use it if you like, y’urd me. Because all you need for this side dish are a few simple ingredients:

  • 1 large chopped potato
  • 1/4 chopped oignion
  • 2 plops Country Crock
  • olive oil (ain’t never such a thing as too much)
  • Tony Chachere’s Creole Salt
  • a lil’ bit of Italian seasoning, and;
  • 1/4 cup H2O.

We gonna’ put it all in an 8″ skillet. Now dat’s what I call the fragrance of success.

The science behind a good side dish

I’m no scientist, but I’m one hell of an observer. And what I see is, especially while cookin’ this delicious thang, oil truly doesn’t like water; now that, mes amis, is science.

Jacqueselini’s Scientific Explanation

So what happens is, da’ water evaporates, and the oil and butter give chase through da’ potato to whoop it, but they get stuck. The water looks back and says something like, “Booyah!” and the potato, as a result, becomes softer and more delicious than ever before.

Now dat’s what I call scientific cookin’, ya’ heard!

Don't forget: garnish da' eggs wit' a few Chee Wees

Don’t forget: garnish da’ eggs wit’ a few Chee Wees!
