Best 4 Italian Pan Fried Potatoes Recipes

ITALIAN-STYLE SKILLET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, salt the water, and cook 5 minutes. Drain.
• Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove to a cutting board with a slotted spoon, then chop and reserve.
• Add the potatoes and rosemary to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the garlic and cheese.

CRISPY ITALIAN FRIED POTATOES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl halfway with cold water. Peel the potatoes and place them in the water as you go, to prevent discoloration.
• Slice the potatoes thinly (1/8-1/4 inch thick) and place slices in the bowl of water, as you go. I recommend using a mandolin or a food processor with the slicing blade attachment. Or you can slice them by hand with a sharp knife.
• Lay an absorbent dish towel on the counter and have another one or two handy. Drain the sliced potato in a mesh strainer and dump them onto a towel. Pat and blot them dry. They will brown better if you get them nice and dry.
• Heat oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat, until hot but not smoking. Add the potato slices and immediately toss them until they're all coated with oil. Let the potatoes cook, undisturbed, for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom pieces look brown around the edges. Mound the peppers on top and add a pinch or two of salt. Flip the potatoes over with a spatula, so some raw potatoes and peppers are on the bottom of the skillet. Leave them undisturbed for another 3-5 minutes, until they are nice and brown on the bottom. Continue to brown and toss potatoes for 5-10 minutes longer, until about half of them are crisp and brown and the rest are soft and creamy.
• Serve hot. Season, to taste, with salt.

FRIED POTATOES, PEPPERS, & ONIONS

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until just fork tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. (Do not overcook or mixture will become mushy)
• Drain the potatoes and set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat until lightly smoking, and then add the pancetta, peppers, and onions.
• Cook until the peppers and onions begin to soften, stirring every once in a while, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the garlic, and continue to cook until the mixture begins to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Add the potatoes to the pan along with the rest of the oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and continue to cook, gently folding over the mixture as it cooks once or twice.
• After about 6 to 7 minutes, once the potatoes begin to color, Add the parsley leaves and gently mix.
• Serve warm.

SAUTé POTATOES WITH SEA SALT & ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Put the whole unpeeled potatoes in a pan of water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins. Drain and leave to cool. Can be done several hours ahead.
• When ready to serve, strip the skins from the potatoes, then cut them into thick slices. Heat the oils together in a very large non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes in a single layer if there is room, and cook for 10-15 mins, tuning them frequently with a fish slice until they are golden and crispy. Sprinkle with the rosemary and flaky salt, then serve.
