Perfect Pan Fried Potatoes Recipes

HOME-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft; about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add potato cubes, salt, paprika and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned; about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, green peppers and parsley and cook for another minute. Serve hot.

PERFECT FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until just fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes; this will allow the potatoes to steam and release excess moisture.
• In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne and onion powder.
• Fill a large Dutch oven with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Carefully add half the potatoes and fry until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Right before removing the potatoes, add a sprig of rosemary and half the sliced garlic to the oil and cook for 15 seconds. With a fine-mesh strainer, remove the batch to a medium bowl. Toss with half of the seasoning mix, then transfer to a paper towel-line baking sheet to drain. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, rosemary, garlic and seasoning mix.

EASY FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the butter in a pan (I use a stick free, the butter is for taste) and melt.
• Add potatoes, and turn over every few minutes until brown. Not all need to be brown, but make sure they are cooked through. Usually takes about 15 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper sometime during frying time, to taste.

PERFECT SAUTéED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
• If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
• Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
• Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
• Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

PAN-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt bacon fat.
• Add onions and saute 2-3 minutes.
• Add potatoes, salt, and paprika (there should be enough to make potatoes almost orange).
• Fry, covered, over medium heat until soft and tender.
• If it starts sticking and forming a crust on the bottom, turn the heat down and add a little water.
