Weekends are great times to whip up satisfying, unusual meals.
Growing up, brunch often consisted of scrambled eggs, homemade potato fries, vegetable soup with homemade bread, bacon or sausage, and fruit salad. Instead of waiting for a table at a popular breakfast diner, we waited impatiently for brunch to be ready, while smelling the wonderful aroma of bacon broiling, homemade soup, and potatoes frying in the pan.
Such a brunch satisfied even the hungriest of teenagers. The potato fries were very popular, much to the cook’s delight.
Now that I’m the main cook, I put my leftover (whole) baked potatoes to good use too. I store those precious baked potatoes in the fridge for a delicious brunch the next day.
Simply cut the chilled baked potatoes into 1/4-inch circular slices, and then season them with a little kosher salt before ‘frying’ them in about 2 teaspoons of canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, about 3 minutes each side. These homemade fries are delicious with a little ketchup, or simply plain.
With Father’s Day coming up on June 20, what do you think are the odds fathers will enjoy these homemade potato fries as part of a delicious brunch?

@sweetlife,
Yes, I think most guys would love a brunch featuring potato fries! Why bother with pancakes when potato fries not only are easier, but appeal more to men?
Great idea for leftover roast potatoes. My boys would love the brunch.

Thanks! I’m always on the lookout for new ways to use up leftover food. Leftovers don’t have to be boring!
