@RedTop  same in my southern family. Pinto beans (topped with fresh diced onions), fried potatoes and cornbread is still my favorite meal!

I use olive oil for ALL my frying.I add sliced onion and peppers to my fried potatoes. 

When I was little my parents could not afford meat at every meal and one of my Mom's meatless treats were her fried potatoes.Right at the end of cookjing them she would add eggs and fry them up with the potatoes. She called it scrambled mess.Potatoes, onions, peppers and eggs. She'd serve them with ketchup and toast with jam, but it was supper not breakfast.

@novamc1@sidsmom, Ladies, you made me remember this from my food chemistry classes.  Thought you may be interested in this.

"Turns out cooking food with baking soda (a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate) can indeed damage a number of nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, riboflavin, thiamin, and one essential amino acid. Yet it doesn't hurt others, including vitamin A, vitamin B12,niacin, and folic acid."

Growing up, my dad always referred to the 5PM meal as supper.  It was something I brought with me when I got married and even after I had my daughter. 

One day I had a highfalutin neighbor tell me her kids were starting use it and she didn't like it because it was such a low class term...and that was the end of that friendship.

I think I may have answered her with some actual low class terms. Hey, I've got friends in low places.

I had fried potatoes tonight. I use a manual food processor with the cones. I use the cone to make shreds like shredded cheese or shredded hashbrowns. I let the shredded potatoes soak in cold water, then pour that off and rinse them off again. I heated up my 12 inch cast iron skillet. Put in veg. oil, then add the well drained potatoes. Fry til crispy, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Top with 2 over medium eggs. Yum yum 😊

One of my favorite combinations...fried eggs with runny yolks over fried potatoes!

I always parboil my potatoes and let them cool before slicing.  I don't make them very often and have always used canola oil.  Since DH doesn't like finding bits of onion in the potatoes (I personally love those darkened little bits), I'll sprinkle the potatoes with onion powder while they're frying so they can at least get a little onion flavor.  I've recently read about the downside of canola oil so while I don't use much of it on a regular basis I'm wondering about switching to a combination of coconut oil and grassfed butter for frying potatoes.

I thought the word “Supper” for the evening meal was a Southern term.
