I'm in Haiti - You'll enjoy this recipe!

Well, I've enjoyed the past 6 weeks in Haiti, the food is good. Sometimes the beans and rice we eat every day for lunch gets a little tiring, but it's not bad so I have no complaint. We have potatoes every day in a form which I call "Haitian Fries" they are good, and with American ketchup, you'd think it was fast food.

~Haitian Fries~

Peel potatoes according to the quantity you wish to eat. Slice them 1/8 inch or so thick and put them in a bowl of salt water. Heat a pan of oil and deep fry the potatoes. When they are golden and crispy, use a slotted dipper or spoon to remove them carefully. Drain them as well as you can and serve them hot.

I will have more to share about Haitian food and how to prepare it soon.
