  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and they won't get crispy.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will allow them to cook through without burning.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help them cook evenly.
