Tips:

For a crispy potato exterior, parboil the potatoes until they are just tender, then drain them and let them cool slightly before tossing them with the olive oil and seasonings.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or braising pan. Just be sure that it has a lid and is large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
Don't overcrowd the pan when you are cooking the potatoes. If you do, they will not cook evenly.
Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
Serve the potatoes immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
