BUTTER FRIED POTATOES

The butter flavour is always intense. If this recipe looks familiar, it is because it is. It only took me 10 years to figure out why these potatoes sometimes work and why they don’t. It is because of the type of potato I use. Large russets [baking potatoes] are the best. Forget the red ones.

The Story:

Horseshoe Bay is a gateway community to British Columbia's Westcoast. This very picturesque village has the terminal for Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, and to Bowen Island and Langdale on the Sunshine Coast. It is also the starting point of the Sea to Sky Highway that hangs on cliffs as it winds its way along Howe Sound to Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton.
Located at the entrance of Howe Sound, Horseshoe Bay is a bedroom community for Vancouver and area with interesting shopping, marina and full tourist facilities. In one of the quaint little restaurants with the red chequered tablecloths was where I first tasted butter fried potatoes.
