Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for frying, as they have a high starch content that helps them crisp up.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch, which can make the potatoes gummy.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them crisp up.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the potatoes get a nice, even crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Flip the potatoes occasionally: This will help them brown evenly.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

Fried mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
