Tips

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold, Russet, or Red potatoes are all good choices for Elsie's potatoes. Avoid using waxy potatoes, such as fingerling or new potatoes, as they will not hold their shape well.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the slicing blade, not the julienne blade.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the potatoes from overcrowding and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If the potatoes are too crowded, they will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Elsie's potatoes are best served hot and crispy. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion

Elsie's potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them crispy or soft, savory or sweet, Elsie's potatoes are sure to please everyone at your table.
