My dad always said "if you have a potato and an egg, you've got a meal." This looks yummy and I already have all the ingredients in my fridge. Thanks for this!

[@EricDorvan]

Hi there, nice to meet you. sorry hope I’m not intruding, you have a wonderful profile I just wanted to say hello. Hope you are having a wonderful day?

[@Silverbird55]

You've taught me so much, and I've been cooking for 45 years, but we're never too old to learn.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

I agree, thank you so much for your comment my friend, hugs and blessings to you. ❤

[@vickygemberling4411]

Everything I watch you cook, gives me new ideas in my cooking! You are so good, Rachel.👍🏻👍🏻

[@zeena9756]

Super. Going to try it out when I have my gal friends come down to the lake for a fun weekend. We go to the craft sale and laugh together and enjoy the lake. Thanks Rachel! You are a super teacher of recipes. 😊

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Wonderful! I hope you have the best time. Enjoy!❤️

[@anthonydauphin1878]

This is a meal all by itself!!! I love this.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Yes, I agree. Thank you my friend. ❤

[@mandibartlett79]

The smell of potatoes and onions reminds me of my papa.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Aw! This dish reminds me so much of my mom, she prepared it often and still does and it brings back beautiful memories of my childhood. ❤

[@macycharmin]

It reminds me of my Poppy, my mother's father. He was such a good cook.

[@nestaannjarrett4948]

​@@rachelcookswithloveMy mom would fry them up in an iron skillet. No matter how I try I still can't make them as good as she did.

[@ursulathomas113]

Dear Rachel, you really are the best. It is not just your cooking skills and presentention, it is also your enunciation of speech, easy to hear, understand and follow. Watching and listening to Rachel with ❤ from Oregon.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much my friend, I'm so grateful for your comment. ❤⚘️

[@ronwatson4902]

Breakfast for supper is one of our favorites. And those potatoes look perfect, Thank you Rachel.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You are so welcome! We love them for supper too.❤️

[@mariocooke5463]

I never thought about this, but it must be Mr. Ron doing all the camera work. In that case, he more than deserves all the good cooking. I can't think of one person who didn't enjoy this video. Making it this week. Thank you, Senora Rachel

[@rachelcookswithlove]

My Ron is the camera man and I am blessed, I do my best to feed him well. Thank you so much my friend. ❤😘😊

[@elsiebaxter8094]

I love how she always takes big bites..not those tiny ones like some do. You rock Rachel ❤️ yet another great video 👍👍

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Lol! I'm usually so hungry by the time I'm done cooking, and I'm not shy. ❤😅

[@jannywanny2201]

It alway cracks me up with her big bites. 😂

[@monnanugent8168]

Don't forget the smile on her face when she takes that bite. I could watch her all day long. She is amazing.

[@damesaphira9790]

Rachel is the BEST Texas cook EVER! She nails Tex-Mex . This Texas dish was a staple when I was growing up but never explained. I feel confident now watching Miss Rachael!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you! My mama prepared these often, we also enjoyed them with refried beans, eggs and flour tortillas.❤🥰

[@maryannferencak3799]

This is not a Texas dish. We make our hash browns like this in the South, too. They're delicious.

[@damesaphira9790]

@@maryannferencak3799 ~ Umm... you know that Texas is in the South right? 🤠

[@damesaphira9790]

This is a very technical dish. I was doing it ALL wrong. I put the onions in first, I used a lid, and I over stirred. I finally gave up trying to make fried potatoes. This time I did it the Rachael way, it was delicious! Follow the steps....it works.

[@JLZwissRN1950]

Yummy..my kind of meal. Thank you for sharing.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Most welcome 😊❤️🥰

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much. ❤️⚘️

[@richardvtagle]

Give me some fresh tortillas and breakfast, lunch or dinner is served! Oh dear Rachel, I could smell your kitchen as you prepared this delicious dish. How many times did we eat these wonderful papitas growing up? I love the way you cut your potatoes since the first time I saw you do it. A truly perfect dish which eggs on the side only make them even more scrumptious. As we feel spring taking over, I sincerely wish that you and your Ron have a beautiful week filled with blessings of the spring season. As always a huge hug and lots and lots of love headed your way sweet amiga.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Dear friend!!! These potatoes bring back beautiful memories of my childhood, mama fixed them often with refried beans, eggs and fresh flour tortillas and we enjoyed them so much. I love them with biscuits and eggs too my friend, you just can't go wrong. I know you have sweet memories of your mama making these too, we are so blessed. Enjoy every day and be blessed my friend. ❤😊

[@Yonnie2436]

I love to watch Ms. Rachel cook 😍 We are from Louisiana and my granddaddy used to make this for supper.. He cooked smoked sausage and onions, flour bread w/ cane river syrup.. He fried it all in his cast iron skillet and that crisp on those potatoes 🤯 *nostalgia moment* Thank you Ms. Rachel ❤

[@EricDorvan]

Hi Yonnie, nice to meet you. sorry hope I’m not intruding, you have a wonderful profile I just wanted to say hello. Hope you are having a great day?

So true! I believe it. ❤️🥰⚘️

[@danielkaiser8971]

I always press "like" before the video begins, all of your videos are super wonderful! And I especially love this one. It means more that your mama prepared those skillet potatoes with onions and bacon often. I noted elsewhere you mentioned you enjoyed them with refried beans, eggs and flour tortillas. I love it!

Your husband is a lucky man! I get so excited every time that you post a video. I watch them on my TV. I don't know how to leave a comment on my TV, but I finally learned how to like on my TV. So once in a while, I get on my phone to leave a comment. I do my best not to skip through advertisements because I know that is where the income comes from, and that is the least that I can do for your efforts and free service. I adore you and appreciate your content. Thank you, Rachel!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much for your kind and sweet comment, I appreciate your support of my channel so much my friend. Hugs and love.❤⚘️🥰

[@deniserobinson2627]

I like how you season in steps and sprinkle all over your food. So many cooking KZbinrs dump all the seasonings in one spot and I could never figure out how that all gets incorporated evenly. The way you do it makes more sense.

[@leaper2294]

Yum!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

❤👍

[@renaywp1]

Rachel, everything you make looks absolutely amazing and delicious! I just love all your videos! You’re very talented! 🥰💐💓🙏

I go through phases when it’s easier to sleep if there’s a little talking going on AND I love Rachel and her cooking videos, so this is the best thing to set it on… binge watching/listening/dreaming Rachels recipes! I’m one week out from total knee replacement surgery, so watching and then nodding off, waking up in the middle of another recipe; living vicariously and taking notes for more delicious dishes that I want to cook when I am up and about again. This potato recipe makes me hungry enough to put potatoes on my next HEB delivery list! LOL Thanks Rachel!💝

[@rachelcookswithlove]

LOL! Nice to hear that you enjoy seeing my videos and sending my best wishes to you on your knee surgery ❤️

[@carolbritton932]

Rachel, my mom made the best fried potatoes and onions. She never used a vegetable peeler and she cut them up just like you do, cutting them directly over the skillet. The smell was heavenly! Thank you!

[@burghbrat3319]

My mom, too. She was one of 12 siblings, and I think potatoes and onions were probably on her family's table more often than most things in the 1930s and '40s when she was a kid. So we had them a lot in the '60s and '70s, too. That's the smell of HOME to me.

[@bethb8276]

I love how you share the whole experience of cooking, like how good the kitchen smells etc. Because food is something we experience with our senses of sight, smell, and taste, it matters. Thank you for tip about not stirring too much, it's a mistake I have made before.
