No, fried taters are potatoes, either sliced or cut in bite-sized pieces (and onions when I make them) fried in frying pan in a bit of Crisco. There’s skill involved when cooking most anything fried so that you don’t burn parts and leave some uncooked or dreadfully sticking to the bottom of the pan. [Picture from www.]
These are eaten either for supper or breakfast, but mostly supper and, yes, it’s probably a “southern thang!”
And they are absolutely delicious, as most fried things are! Hash browns, are finely grated potatoes fried for breakfast, mostly!
