We absolutely adored these! I substituted 1 tablespoon of butter for 1 teaspoon, and added extra salt and pepper to suit our taste. I was thrilled with how crispy and flavorful they turned out. The family is already eagerly anticipating when I'll make them again...this recipe is definitely a keeper! YUM! Thank you for sharing. :)

I sprinkled in a teaspoon of garlic in the final 5 minutes of cooking. The dish turned out scrumptious and was a breeze to make.

These were truly delicious! I opted to keep the potato skins on, and it added a fantastic flavor. I will certainly be making these again!

I began by using olive oil and butter, but later switched to peanut oil for refilling. The results were fantastic and preparation was a breeze - each batch didn't even take 20 minutes to cook.

We enjoyed these alongside fried shrimp and they complemented each other perfectly. I kept them warm in a 200-degree oven on a baking sheet while preparing the shrimp. They were absolutely delicious - reminiscent of a combination between French fries and traditional fried potatoes. The flavor was enhanced by the addition of butter, and my husband even declared that we will be opting for these over regular fried potatoes in the future. The distinction between butter-fried potatoes and regular fried potatoes is undeniable. I am also intrigued to experiment by trying them with a combination of peanut oil and butter.
