My Nonna Franca made these potatoes for me when I visited Rome with her right after I graduated from H.S. I was young and I'd never had such a good potato ( my American mother wasn't really a cook). I remember I came back to the U.S. and tried to recreate the recipe, at first using the wrong kind of potato. Eventually I learned the right potatoes to use and just how long to fry them for. Yet, still, mine are good, but I've never been able to make them as good as Nonna did. It's funny how an Italian grandmother can simply fry a potato better!
