POTATOES GRANDMERE
Translated from French to English, it means "Grandmother's potatoes". It's a very nice potato dish that's good with just about any meat. I like to sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top just before serving; basil or oregano is also nice. Servings will vary, as the size of potatoes will differ; cooking times may vary for the same reason. Check at 45 minutes.

GRANDMA'S CHEESY POTATOES
My grandmother makes this every year with a brisket for Christmas dinner. This is hands down my favorite potato recipe ever. I leave the skins on the potatoes, but this is optional. Garnish with chopped green onions or Italian parsley, and top with more cheese for a restaurant 'look.' I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help the potatoes brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: Potatoes Grandmere are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
