Tips:

  • For the best cottage fries, use fresh, high-quality potatoes. Look for potatoes that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will become crispy and overcooked before the larger pieces are done.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove excess starch and make the potatoes more crispy.
  • Season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes in a single layer in a hot skillet or on a baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the cottage fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
