Last night I decided to make beef ribs for dinner. To make it completely
easy, I decided on canned green beans and canned potatoes for
accompaniment. I like to pan fry canned potatoes in oil till golden
brown. It's a taste from my childhood. It would be easy, I thought.
I found I didn't have any canned potatoes. I did have some small russets
growing in the cupboard. There were just small sprouts growing out of
them, so I peeled and boiled them till done, dried them and coated with
olive oil. I refrigerated them till forty minutes before dinner. Then I
fried them till brown on as many sides as I could. They looked fantastic.
The ribs were great, the green beans a known taste and the potatoes
sucked.
I served them plain because they looked so good, and they were as dry as
toast. The four small spuds would have sucked up a quart of gravy and
begged for more. I'm thinking of selling them as desiccants.
If I do it again, it will be with reds or Yukon golds. I should have
known better.
