Notes

Dolly says: "We always had taters on teh dinner table--and the breakfast and lunch table, too. Taters were a staple of my childhood and I've never met one that I didn't like! Mama used them in just about everything--soups, stews, salads--you name it. Her simple fried spuds were always and still remain my favorite. The secret to their special taste? She steamed them just a bit before adding the onions and peppers."
