Perfectly Pan Fried Potatoes

Yukon gold potatoes are the best potato for this.  The skins are thin so you can leave them on and the inside of the potato stays firm when you cook it but is so creamy and buttery!

Perfectly Pan Fried Potatoes

Yukon Gold potatoes
Olive Oil
Butter
Salt
Cast Iron Pan

Chunk your potatoes up.  If they are small I quarter them.  If they are a little larger I cut in half, then in thirds, and halves of those.  These were probably 3/4 inch slices.

Put potatoes in a pot with cold water and some salt.   Bring to a boil and cook until almost done.  Drain and let air dry a little.
Heat up cast iron pan good and warm.  Drizzle in some olive oil and put a pat of butter in the pan. 
Add potato chunks.  Allow to brown on one side and then flip.  Don't play with your potatoes too much or they will fall apart.

Makes a great side dish for any meal or serve with with the Breakfast Slam!

PB and Nutella Puppy Chow

The warnings that come with this treat are:
Careful not to inhale when you eat, it's just as bad as eating a powdered sugar donut.  Will cause coughing fits.  Yes, I know from experience.
This is addicting and may require treatment to cure said addiction!

PB and Nutella Puppy Chow

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup Nutella
1 box rice toasted squares cereal (approximately 13 cups)
2-3 cups powdered sugar

Mix together your peanut butter and Nutella.  Gently stir in the cereal.  

Add 1 cup powdered sugar to a zip shut bag.  Dump in the cereal.  Add 1 more cup powdered sugar.  Zip shut.  Gently shake to coat and break apart the cereal pieces. Add more powdered sugar if needed. 
If you have too much powdered sugar you can put your puppy chow in a colander and shake the excess off. 
Enjoy!
*If you are worried your cereal will break up too much you can do these in smaller batches.  I use approximately 1-1/2 Tablespoons each of pb and Nutella and 1-1/2 cups cereal.  Also useful if you just need a tiny treat and not a big batch.  ;-)
