Tips:

  • Prep the Potatoes Properly: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. If you're using larger potatoes, cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Soak the Potatoes (Optional): Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking can help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and any other herbs or spices you enjoy.
  • Use High Heat Initially: Start by cooking the potatoes over high heat to create a crispy exterior. Once they're golden brown, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until they're tender on the inside.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with potatoes, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Flip and Stir Occasionally: Use a spatula to flip and stir the potatoes occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add Butter or Oil: Adding a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil to the pan can help create a golden brown crust and add flavor to the potatoes.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the potatoes with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or cilantro for an extra pop of color and flavor.
