I don't ever bother peeling the potatoes and I used some garlic salt. Turned out really good.

These are great. After partially browning the potatoes I added a small amount of water, 2-3 TBSP, and quickly covered to speed up the cooking time. Once the water cooked out I fried them until done. For more flavorI added the salt, pepper and garlic powder while they were still cooking. Left the paprika out all together. Wonderful recipe...

These potatoes are delicious! I have been making these for 20 years and think they taste better than any frozen brand. I also do add-in's like chopped roasted red pepper, paprika and chile powder. Also leftover ham is very good in this dish.

Sara, these were delicious! I loved the garlic in this, it really added so much to the flavor. The only change I made was to add some bacon grease too for flavor. (about a T worth) I added the seasonings to my potatoes as soon as I put them in the skillet so the flavor could cook in.

this is so yummy. But instead of cubing them I just slice them thinly. I like them better that way. But I have been looking for this forever. I wanted to cook mine to go with steaks.

These were good. I didn't have an iron skillet and the potatoes kept sticking to the pan I used. The key to these turning out so crisp is using the shortening. Will make these again using a better alternative to an iron skillet.

I made this for Christmas morning and they were awesome. I have tried for a long time to make breakfast potatoes but they always came out mushy. Using the shortening did the trick. They came out crisp and delicious. I did add some sliced onions and red/green bell peppers. Even though they weren't as healthy as if I used vegetable oil, the shortening did the trick. Thanks!!!!

These were pretty tasty, but took much longer to cook. I made a few changes - I halved the potatoes, shortening and salt, and kept the other spices the same. I also added 6 cloves of garlic, which I browned in the shortening along with the spices and then added the potato. Since I was using a cast iron skillet, I ended up putting it in the oven at 350 until the potatoes softened. Next time, I would cook the potatoes in the oven.

super easy and yummy. Versatile enough to make as a side for breakfast or along dinner. I used bacon drippings in place on shortning and also added bell pepper.

I substituted the garlic powder for garlic salt and added onion powder. I also cooked them in vegetable oil instead of shorting. These came out superb!

Used olive oil instead of shortening and these turned out great, even after I kinda messed up and didn't follow directions. Very easy recipe to customize with seasons you enjoy.
