Ingredients
- 6 to 8 potato peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick, large
- 1/4 cup peanut oil or light vegetable oil
- 1 sweet onion chopped (optional)
- 1 clove garlic minced (optional)
- 1 bell pepper diced (optional)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
Instructions
- Wash and slice the potatoes. Optionally, you can peel them. For extra crispiness, soak the slices in ice water for 5-10 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a towel to ensure they are completely moisture-free.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully add the potatoes in a single layer.
- Fry the potatoes for about 2 minutes, until they start to turn golden. Then, cover and steam on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Uncover, increase the heat, and flip the potatoes. Fry until the other side is golden as well.
- Transfer the potatoes to a colander to drain excess oil. Blot with paper towels before returning them to the skillet.
- Add the optional onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the butter just before serving, and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the potatoes hot and enjoy!
- DEVOUR!
