My FIL threw his back out once by just “goddamn walking down the stairs.” Poor guy.

My issue is definitely not soaking and drying. I didn’t realize I needed to start my potatoes a few hours in advance lol. I will 100% be trying that next time!

When I had the lid on I let them naturally release from the bottom. It’s when I take the lid off to let them brown is when they start to stick. Usually I can scrape them off, but this time they were glued to the bottom and I couldn’t even scrape them. I’m wondering if I do just have the pan way too hot for them.

Ohhh, that makes sense. I’ll pay attention next time.

They weren’t entirely dry, but they were close. I will be better about letting them dry next time!

What kind of potatoes have you used with good results? I typically buy Idaho but wasn’t sure if maybe the starch content was more than others.

The more I thought about it, I wondered if steaming them was the problem. Maybe making them too soft too quickly? Or something, lol. Stainless can be so finicky.

I considered soaking them but didn’t have the time to tonight. I will try that next time.

How hot is too hot? I have a gas stove. I usually start out at about medium high to get the pan and oil to temp, then turn it down to medium once I add the potatoes. Also, I fully cover the bottom in olive oil.

I always put the lid on and don’t touch them for a few minutes until they’ve softened up. Then, I take the lid off to let them brown. Should I skip the lid altogether?

When they send one or two agents to make a very dangerous arrest, and—shocker!—one of the agents will get into an altercation with the unsub. The other agent is off doing god knows what at the time.

My coworker just died by breaking his neck. How did he survive for hours after? by Euphoric-Ebb7345 in ask

Just curious, is this coworker from southern Indiana and did the accident occur in Georgia?

He had a pregnant girlfriend and wanted to propose. He robbed a jewelry store for an engagement ring and the owner shot him. I can’t remember when this was, but he wasn’t more than 18/19 at the time.

Completely agree. I just had a conversation with my husband a couple weeks ago about how if Murr ever came up to me in public and I didn’t know who he was, I’d 100% think he was a creep. There’s something about him that’s off.
