Ahhh potatoes! My secret love language. Fried, baked, or mashed doesn’t matter, I want it! These especially. This recipe was inspired by my baby hassle back potato recipe. I love the concept but execution took a while. Rather than worrying about slitting slices in tiny potatoes why not just cut them into slices and cut out half the work.

Growing up we ate potatoes with everything, perhaps that where my love of spuds came from. In case you didn’t know Polish people are very much meat and potatoes kind of people, so can you blame me if I can’t enjoy a dish without a potato on it? If you are on the same page as me then you will love these. You can enjoy as a side or appetizer/ snack and I guarantee you that you will leave your dinner table very satisfied. So let’s get to cooking and enjoy the one thing that this mama can’t live without!
