That's "traditional" fried okra here in my region. The key is cooking it long enough to eliminate the slime but not so long it taste burnt. I personally like to mix mine in with my mashed potatoes, yummm so good making me want some now.

I have a bunch of catfish in the freezer, do you think it would go good with fried okra pinto beans and coleslaw?

I don't know why I said pintos I don't even like pinto beans.

The store used to sell cranberry beans and I loved them but they stopped selling them.

I never tried mixing it in with mashed potatoes. I always mix my okra in well with round-up.
