Pan Fried Potatoes
Description
For this recipe, russet potatoes are peeled and sliced thinly into 1/8 inch rounds, ensuring they cook evenly and crisp up nicely. Vegetable oil is heated in a large skillet over medium heat, then the potatoes are added and covered to cook through partially while developing slight browning. Chopped onions, if used, are added midway, bringing a gentle onion flavor and softness to the dish. After seasoning generously with salt and black pepper, the potatoes are cooked uncovered, stirring frequently to encourage browning and even cooking until tender with golden edges.
This method yields potatoes with a tender interior and a satisfying browned crust, suitable as a side dish for various meals. Serve immediately to enjoy the texture and flavor at their peak.
Use 1/2 teaspoon onion powder as a substitute for sliced onions if preferred.Store leftover pan fried potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 to 7 days.
