I used Maris Piper potatoes because here in the UK we use potatoes that actually exist.<br /><br />There were some doubts about the par-microwaving technique, as when I knife-tested them they still seemed raw, but when I took them out to revert to the par-boiling technique it turned out it was only the top surfaces that were telling lies to me.<br /><br />After that the recipe went well, though we didn't have garlic powder. The pan-frying stage took about 15-20 minutes rather than 10, but that was okay, and was probably due to me using potatoes that actually exist. King Edwards might be better though, but the store I went to didn't have any in stock.JPJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921412973602691337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-74630267387669623132017-05-03T23:12:38.370-04:002017-05-03T23:12:38.370-04:00Made this tonight to serve with eggs and fruit.

I used that for batch one and accidentally overcooked more potatoes for a second batch (I thought they weren't cooking through but really the tops were just drying out and tough and the insides were falling apart. I finished microwaving with a damp paper towel over them. I wonder if I'd do better microwaving them whole and then removing the peels after?)). <br />They were both delicious but the undercooked first batch came out better.<br /> My seven year old tried them and said, "Mommy these are AMAZING!"

But it looked like so little in the pan, and they were sooo good. Woops, I ate 2 whole potatoes for breakfast.<br /><br />When I peel potatoes I peel the sides into nice wide strips and save them and compost the little endy bits.<br /><br />When you have enough potato skins - toss 'em in a bit of oil, some salt, some dried rosemary is also nice, and bake 'em for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

I have a question, recipe request <br /><br />Being from Upstate do you have a Michigan Sauce recipe you can share? You know without being cut out of the will. They are after all heavily guarded family secret; a good Michigan Sauce is, so if you cant share I understand.. BUT it is BASEBALL season ergo hot dog season and chili sauce isn't nearly as good as a Michigan.<br /><br />Thanks so much for all that you share.<br />PaulaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042597254907000544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-86296510650748452252017-05-01T13:16:23.445-04:002017-05-01T13:16:23.445-04:00The potatoes you use make a big difference as well...The potatoes you use make a big difference as well! Different starch types and amounts are a thing. <br /><br />Russets are the king of crisp. For creamier, less crispy breakfast potatoes, look to Yukon Gold or "Chef's" potatoes. Skip red or bliss potatoes almost entirely, they sort of just turn to fluff and don't hold up to the pan very well.

I've been precooking them for years, and still always find them just a touch less than completely satisfying. <br /><br />Now that I think about it, the times I've used a left over baked potato came out the best, and I never connected starting from cool. I just figured that method was better than the microwave, but the microwave is obviously much faster for when you don't have baked potatoes left over. <br /><br />Thanks Chef John!
