CALICO POTATOES
One time when we went to Silver Dollar City they had something similar to this there, but it had sausage in it. I came up with my version minus the sausage to be used as a side dish.

- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help to create a crispy crust on the potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Give the potatoes plenty of space so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Don't stir the potatoes too often: This will prevent them from breaking apart.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
