Imagine cloud-soft potatoes crackling like river ice, cradling golden onion confetti—the kind that makes your fork pause mid-lift while you whisper, “Mama Elara, you witch of the hollow.” My Mama Elara fried these in her 1932 Ozark cabin kitchen after the bank took our land, using up hoarded onions to feed hungry moonshiners. For 92 years, it’s been the star of every harvest moon, snowed-in Sunday, and “the world’s on fire but this pan is perfect” moment. When you pierce that crust, you’re not just eating dinner—you’re tasting the grit of a woman who fed 12 children on a sharecropper’s wage.
