Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes all work well for this recipe. You can also use a mix of different types of potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy: You want the potatoes to be able to hold their shape when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Season the potatoes generously: This will help to give them flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet or griddle: This will help to give the potatoes a nice crispy exterior.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or griddle: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
