Tips:

Prep Your Potatoes Right: For even cooking, cut your potatoes into uniform-sized pieces. For a crispy exterior, opt for smaller pieces; for a softer interior, go with larger chunks.
Choose the Right Skillet: Use a well-seasoned cast iron or non-stick skillet to ensure your potatoes get a nice, even sear without sticking.
Don't Crowd the Skillet: Give your potatoes enough space to cook properly. Overcrowding the skillet will result in steamed potatoes instead of crispy ones.
Use High Heat: High heat is essential for getting that perfect crispy crust on your potatoes. Don't be afraid to crank up the heat and let your skillet get nice and hot before adding the potatoes.
Stir Wisely: Avoid stirring your potatoes too often. Stirring too much can break up the potatoes and prevent them from getting crispy.
Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika are a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices to suit your taste.
Add Veggies for a Heartier Meal: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the skillet for a more substantial meal. Bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli are all great options.
Cheese It Up: If you're a cheese lover, sprinkle some shredded cheese over the potatoes towards the end of cooking for a cheesy, gooey topping.
Garnish and Serve: Once your potatoes are cooked to perfection, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra pop of flavor and color. Serve immediately while they're hot and crispy.

With its crispy exterior, tender interior, and endless customization options, this hearty potato skillet is a dish that's sure to please everyone at your table.
