Notes

  • Use Yukon potatoes for the best results, but you can use whatever you have really
  • Vinegar in the water for parboiling potatoes creates a crispier potato
  • Take your time with the potatoes! 
  • I use Bacon Fat, but butter, lard, or oil should work fine. 
  • If you like a little zing, use cayenne pepper to spice it up
