A stick of butter, stick margarine... does it really matter?

“As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists.” ~ Joan Gussow

Be it a stick of butter or a stick of margarine, it really doesn't matter to me.   It really makes my fried potatoes taste really, really, really good.

Tonight I prepared a big skillet of diced onions and potatoes.  Before I diced the onions and sliced the potatoes, in went the stick of margarine.   I even added a dash of extra virgin olive oil.   It was like being Paula Dean and Rachel Ray all at the same time!

There wasn't a potato left in the skillet when we got done with dinner this evening.  It's a good thing the pork chops were grilled!
