any other spices you choose to add

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. You will need a large pot or skillet to make this recipe.
  • 3. If you do not have any red or golden potatoes, you can always use russets.
  • 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Cut the potatoes in half, or if they are small, in quarters.
  • 6. Toss them into a pot of lightly salted boiling water and cook for about 8 minutes.

  • 8. Add to a bowl, and toss with a small bit of oil, and then salt and pepper, to taste.
  • 9. Add the oil and butter to a large skillet, or pot over medium heat.
  • 10. When the butter melts, add the taters, cut side down.

  • 12. Flip and cook, covered, an additional 3 - 4 minutes.
  • 13. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 14. Serve any old way you please... Even by themselves. I served them at a casual outdoor event with Asian fried beef, and ciabatta bread.
  • 15. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

These pan-fried taters were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with ketchup and they were delicious.
