Creamy and cheesy, mild flavor but very tasty. Instead of the can of pimentos, you can cube red peppers (or green or both) and add to the potatoes and onions when they are about halfway through. A little crunch and color is nice.

Tips:

  • Yukon Gold potatoes are the ideal spuds for this recipe. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slicing the potatoes thinly will help them cook evenly.
  • Soaking the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking will remove excess starch and help them crisp up.
  • Make sure the oil is hot before adding the potatoes. This will help them brown and crisp.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many potatoes at once, they will not cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish the potatoes with chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color.

Conclusion:

Pittsburgh Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they are seasoned with just the right amount of salt and pepper.
