Cooked them for years, but in response to a request, can not find a recipe anywhere on the web. Can anyone help me out, or do I have to draft one up.
Much Thanks, I hope

Frozen french fries? <shudder> ;-)
I always use potatoes prepared as for hash browns - shredded - for O'Brien potatoes.
(Note: Mix crumbled up fried bacon, green pepper, pimiento, and onion into whole kernel corn - yummy. We used to call it "Indian Corn," because the colors resemble the multi-colored field corn used for decorations.)
