OK.....so I was hungry this weekend for some good old fashioned fried foods! My husband had brought in some fresh yellow squash and I just happened to remember when we'd go to Grammar's house and she'd fry up some squash, okra, potatoes and anything else that she could throw in. So.....I had 2 yellow squash, a couple of potatoes and an onion. I simply cut all of those up for frying - the squash sliced in rounds, the potatoes cut semi-thin and the onion in chunks and then broken apart where it was in about 2" slices.....I mixed all of these together.
I then took some Louisiana Fish Fry (it comes in a blue package and it's usually in the area where corn meal is shelved) - I covered all of the squash, potatoes and onion with 1 package of the Louisiana Fish Fry and tossed it where everything had a good covering of the mixture.
I have a black cast iron skillet that I love to fry in - so I put about 1/2" of oil in it and got the oil pretty hot and then loaded it up with the mixture - for a good old frying. I did salt the mixture just a tiny bit - you don't want to salt it too much because the Louisiana Fish Fry has plenty of seasoning in it.
I just fried the mixture until everything was good and brown, but not overdone. The 3 tastes are a good mix and if you ever have some fresh okra, cut it up and throw it into the mix.
This dish is especially good with pinto beans, cornbread and fried chicken!
Till next time, Happy Cooking!!
