If there were any leftovers of these potatoes, you’d find my youngest cousin eating them with the serving spoon.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma had a good method for keeping fresh minced garlic on hand for a few days. She minced 10 garlic cloves at a time, then mixed the garlic with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil in a small bowl or plastic container. She covered and refrigerated the garlic so it would remain fresh and be ready to use. She used it within a week for the best flavor and quality.
