fried potatoes and onions
This is the best side dish for a cookout. My mom always made this when we had burgers, so it has been a staple in our house for years. The night I went into labor with my second child, we grilled out burgers, and I fixed these potatoes and onions, along with baked beans. We ate supper, and as I was doing dishes, I realized that I was in labor. When my mom got to the house to babysit my daughter while we went to the hospital, she stated that the onions were what sent me into labor. They smell great while cooking! Who knows, but we got that baby here the next day.
