📖 The Story Behind This Dish

True to its literal name, "fried potatoes" are boiled or steamed potatoes, sliced and fried in butter or oil until crisp. Frying with bacon and onion is the classic style, and it's versatile enough to pair with fried eggs at breakfast or sausage at dinner — active all day long. It's also said to have grown from the practical wisdom of using up the previous day's leftover potatoes deliciously.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a German family dinner, the sizzling sound and savory smell from the pan create a simple but heartwarming table.
