I grew up with my mom cooking fried potatoes (thickly round flat sliced potatoes fried in a LOT of oil (or lard) with onions and salt and pepper and melted butter). I never had anything close until I lived in Germany and surprisingly, almost every restaurant fixed them that way!

>BTW, while we're on a food theme (Ken Levy well forgotten :-), whenever we see you guys having dinner, on the telly, esp. Thanksgiving and Xmas, you're always passing the mash potato around. It seems you have an insatiable appetite for it. On the other hand we tend to eat roast potatoes where you'd have mash, for Sunday dinner and Xmas, and I've never heard that mentioned by an American. Can't understand it. "Roasties" are one of the reasons for living! (along with Chinese crispy duck, pancakes and hoi sin sauce!)
