By suz1230

plate of Southwest Fried PotatoesI love potatoes! So adding just about anything to them can really make a difference from the plain fried potatoes. These spicy fried potatoes go great with scrambled eggs, or they're just a nice meal all by themselves too. Also, you can add more or less of everything too.
