Notes
Using a large skillet will help to flip potatoes easily and have all potatoes cooked through.
Use a well-seasoned pan to ensure nothing gets stuck to the bottom.
Make sure the oil is hot before adding in the potatoes so that the potatoes do not get soggy.
For crispy potato texture, don’t cover while cooking.
Use a flat metal spatula when turning potatoes over.
Do not over-stir the potatoes so that they have time to fry in the oil and brown on each side.
Taste before serving, adjust salt if needed.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs when serving: chives, green onions, dill
Optional spices to add: smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, minced garlic, green onions.
Serve this recipe at breakfast or as a side dish. If you want to make this a complete meal, add some bacon or prosciutto when frying potatoes.
