How to Make Crispy Potatoes on the Stove
Crispy fried potatoes in a skillet are a 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
Variations
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped onions when you add the potatoes to the skillet.
- Add some seasonings while you saute the potatoes. Think about a blend of Italian spices, a bit of dried rosemary and/or thyme, onion powder, some chili powder and cumin, or some za'atar.
- Add a tablespoon or two of minced fresh parsley or another fresh herb to the potatoes just before serving.
- Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with gremolata before serving.
