How to Make Crispy Potatoes in a Pan
The easiest way to make simple crispy fried potatoes on the stove. These are the perfect side to just about anything, morning, noon or night!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
- 4 large baking potatoes (peeled and diced)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Pat the potatoes dry with a clean dish towel or paper towels.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (preferably cast iron or nonstick). Add the oil, then sauté the potatoes until lightly browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. You may need to do this in batches; don’t crowd the pan. Season with salt and pepper if you like, and toss and stir frequently.
- Remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
Notes
Storage
Leftover crispy potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat them in a skillet or pan over medium heat until heated through. You can also reheat them in a baking dish in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes. They can also be reheated in the microwave, though you will lose some of the crispiness.Nutrition
