Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are best as they hold their shape well. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russets as they tend to fall apart when cooked.
- Wash and cut the potatoes evenly: This helps them cook evenly. For smaller potatoes, halve or quarter them. For larger ones, cut them into 1-inch cubes.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water: This removes excess starch, preventing them from sticking together and making them crispy.
- Use a large skillet: This allows the potatoes to spread out in a single layer and get crispy on all sides.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many potatoes, they will steam rather than fry. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Cook the potatoes on medium heat: This prevents them from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally: This ensures that they cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
- Don't cover the skillet: This helps the potatoes get crispy.
- Season the potatoes: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, spices, or grated cheese.
- Serve the potatoes hot: They are best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
