  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to fry the potatoes. This will give them more room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the potatoes. This will help to create a crispy crust.
