Tips:

Choose waxy potatoes, like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, for a firm texture that holds its shape when cooked.
Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the potatoes so that they have plenty of room to move around and brown.
Add a generous amount of olive oil or butter to the skillet or Dutch oven to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
Cook the potatoes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and browned.
Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
