Baba Ethel is my mother's paternal grandmother, and her roasted potatoes recipe cannot be outdone! Even my mother-in-love adores them, and I tend to bring them to most of our Bruni family gatherings.
Growing up, Mom used to make a huge batch of potatoes (no less than 15 potatoes & 2-3 onions go in the mix) because there had to be leftovers for breakfast the next day. And lest we forget - the crispier they were, the better!
So...now I am the one to make the Baba Ethels...and I try to make them good and crispy, because all the men in my life prefer them that way - a little charring on the edges is perfectly acceptable in this house - and I did so for Shabbat Dinner tonight.
