I'm not usually a fan of fried potatoes, but these were amazing! The key is to use a good quality potato and to fry them until they're golden brown.

These pan-fried taters were a hit at my last dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the seasoning was perfect. I'll definitely be making them again.
