Frugal Friday - Crispy Potatoes
A great companion dish to go with home made chicken nuggets - or a meal on its own for a family of four.Ingredients
1.2kg King Edward or pontiac potatoes (or whatever else is cheap or can be dug up if you live near a farmer), peeled, thinly sliced
80ml (1/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil (can substitute lard if cheaper)
2 garlic cloves, crushed (onions if cheaper)
1 lemon, juiced (only 9 cents at Island Markets - bargain!)
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a large baking dish with olive oil.
Place potato, oil, garlic, juice and seasoning in a large bowl, toss to combine. Layer potato in the dish (don't make layers too deep, as potato won't become crispy). Bake for about 45 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden.
Cheap and delicious!

Beautiful recipe Whitey - I see I have competition on the Hobart Food blogging scene!
Keeping it cheap - that's my motto.
Hey Whitey - what's with this "extra virgin olive oil"? Of course lard is cheaper! You're letting down the team!!

Once upon a time olive oil used to be cheaper when I could borrow it from the next door neighbour.
Not any more.
Hey Whitey
sorry for doubting the extent of your frugality. I should have realised that you would have considered all the options!

Frugality is in the eye of the payer.
Free olive oil is better than cheap lard.
