Notes

Expert Tips

  • Use a cast iron skillet for this recipe! I find they're a great non-toxic and non-stick option for cooking.
  • Peel the potatoes before cutting. Although it's not necessary, it tastes better without the skin.
  • Pre-heat the skillet before adding the potatoes. This will help to give them a crispy edge.
  • Cover the pan in-between stirring! This will steam the potatoes and cook them faster.
