Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, firm red potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are different sizes, the smaller ones will cook faster than the larger ones.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can grease it with a little oil or butter.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam instead of fry. Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Be patient: It takes a little time for the potatoes to brown and crisp up. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with undercooked potatoes.
  • Season to taste: Once the potatoes are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Skillet red potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a little planning and effort, you can make perfect skillet red potatoes every time.
