Fried potatoes and onions. My grandma used to make them whenever her grandchildren came to visit. He’d slap her backside and she’d be like “Homney, stop that in from of the children.” As we got older the flirtatious behavior just got worse, in a cute way way.

Grandpa loved fried potatoes and onions with fried chicken. She always boiled the potato slices before she put them in the oil. I thought it was a waste of time until I tried it!

The taste always instantly takes me back. I don’t make them all the time and when I do it’s like my grandparents are here in my kitchen with me.

My grandparents who were married 60 years died in 1999.

60 days apart.
