    Cup of Yum
  1. Bake (or microwave) the potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Slice them in half lengthwise.
  3. Mash the cut sides with a fork to break up and flatten out the potato a little. Add salt and pepper along with any other desired toppings.
  4. Melt 2 – 3 tablespoons butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Stick the potatoes in (skin side down) and fry until bottoms are brown and crispy. It should take 5 – 10 minutes. Enjoy!
