Steps:
- Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
- When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
- If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
- Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
- Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
- Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

CRISP SAUTéED RED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Once butter is melted and hot, arrange potatoes in the skillet, cut-side-down in one layer. Cook uncovered and undisturbed 8-10 minutes or until golden brown crust forms on the bottoms.
- Turn potatoes then cover and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown on the second side, you'll hear it spit and splatter under the lid; just be careful when you first lift of the lid as juices from the lid can dribble into the pan and splatter. Keep the wee ones away from the stove. In hind sight, a dutch oven with taller walls might have been a better choice to cook these.
- Turn the potatoes again, cover and cook another 5 minutes or until you can easily pierce potatoes with a knife. Remove from heat and sprinkle with salt & pepper (I used about 3/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper), toss with 2 Tbsp chives. Sprinkle with more fresh chives just before serving and enjoy.

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then let simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 5 minutes). Check the potatoes with a fork often, making sure not to over boil them. They should be easily pierced with a fork, but not so soft that they fall apart. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
- While the potatoes are boiling, snap the stems off of the green beans, then break them into 1-2 inch sections. Rinse with cool water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Mince the garlic and add it to a large skillet along with the olive oil. Sauté the garlic over medium heat for about one minute, then add the drained potatoes. Continue to sauté the potatoes, stirring only once every 3-5 minutes, until about half of them are golden brown (5-10 minutes).
- Add the green beans to the skillet and continue to sauté until they are slightly softened and have some browned spots (about another 5 minutes). Season the skillet with salt, oregano, and some freshly cracked pepper. Sauté for one minute more, then serve.

Steps:
- Prep all the ingredients. Prep the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-3 inch pieces about the width of a French fry. Dice the onion. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- In a large skillet with a lid, heat the olive oil. Add the cut potatoes and diced onion. Cook over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes without disturbing, so that the bottom layer of potatoes get nice and crispy. Season with salt, stir and cover with a lid. Continue cooking for 5-8 more minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning, and covering with a lid in between stirring.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and stir. Cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. The mushrooms will release some juice, this is fine. Remove the lid, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes stirring frequently, or until the potatoes are fully cooked and any liquid has evaporated. Stir in parsley and remove from heat.
