I thought I'd share this hint:

I've cooked for well over 50 yrs but I saw something on TV this winter that TAUGHT me something. The chef said if you're frying foods whether it's meat or potatoes or whatever, do NOT pick up, look under or flip until you see some browning around the bottom edges. Then it's browned enough AND it won't stick to the pan. Of course, this is if you're using a well-seasoned cast iron or well oiled/greased fry pan. I've tried that all winter and the chef was right! I've not had sticking foods like before!!!

I think it's critical to follow that rule when frying potatoes. If you mess with them too much before they brown, you get mush.

I think I saw this same hint on TV and I've tried it and found it worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing it with everyone else.
