Originated in Texas, stayed in AZ for a decade or so and now in NV. I remember buttermilk pies, cornbread (always an outside piece for the crunch) with butter and honey, fried okra, BBQ, etc. Really do miss Tex-Mex. Chicken fried steaks are also missed (here and in AZ the steaks are served with meat gravy, not white gravy -- shutter). Big Red soda was also unavailable for many years. Sigh -- more hunger pains.

That's awesome!! I need to put together all of our recipes for my boys! I have four boys and they all have been taught how to cook. I started when they were around 4-5 years old. My youngest son wants to be a chef, he cooks better than most adults I know! My 17 year old son just made elk steaks tonight actually! lol Tomorrow my youngest will be making dinner (each kid gets one night a week that they have to make dinner). So tomorrow is Salt & Pepper Tofu over steamed rice with garlic baby bok choy side.
we can never remake the tators grandma did but if you try cooking them in bacon grease its good, we never could make them as good as she did i told my family it had to be that cast iron skillet of hers

Fried potatoes was a weekend staple! Mom would get up and make a late breakfast, it always had fried potatoes! Eggs, hash browns, fried potatoes, bacon, sausage, pancakes, ect.. It was a practical buffet and she did it every single weekend!

I was a fat, well fed kid and proud!
My mother raised me on fried "tater" sammiches, cornbread n pinto beans, spanish rice, fried pork chops, fried chicken, baked (betcha thought I was gonna say 'fried' again!) Enchilada ground beef cassarole, baked tuna cassarole, mustard greens n vinegar, spinach n bacon, banana nut cake, peach cobbler, hand churned ice cream, iceberg lettuce salad with Green Goddess dressing, sweet tea, Sun tea, RC cola.....
I eat none of this now, except for fried chicken.
My mouth is watering down memory lane. I would kill or die for a fried tater sammich: Fried potatoes lil crispy, White Wonder bread, Miracle Whip, French's mustard, red onion.... nom-nom-NOM!
so it just dont work out right then? even if you have the them? thats kindof a let down, i know the recipe she used.......

I have my mother's chicken fryin cast iron skillet, her dutch oven, and cook with them often. I used to fry potatoes like mama, but that was waaaaay back toward my corn shuckin, cotton pickin days. ( Yes, indeedy, I have picked cotton.)
