Tips for Making Pan Fried Potatoes and Carrots

The main thing to remember when making this dish is that you want to chop up the veggies and potatoes in a way that they’re going to be certain to cook all the way through.

You can also add some fun seasonings to this recipe as well because the potatoes are really great about absorbing the flavors of the spices.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftovers and also mix in a few other vegetables, too.

While I’d typically post about specialty ingredients that you need to get online just in case you can’t find them at the store, this really doesn’t apply in this case.

This is just another reason that this roasted vegetables recipe is simple and awesome.

    .

    My mom cooked this when I was growing up.

    The carrots give it a sweet flavor.

    It makes a good veggie meal.

    I start with raw veggies – potatoes[leaving skins on], carrots, onions [dehydrated will do]
    seasonings, olive oil and a little water.

    Pan fry covered medium heat stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes. Serve over a slice of bread.
