How to Make Pan Fried Potatoes

  • Peel and slice the potatoes into bite size pieces. Can be thinly sliced semi-circles, wedge style, or cut like fries.
  • Heat the oil in over medium-high heat in a frying pan. Carefully add the potatoes into the hot oil. Keep uncovered.
  • Fry potatoes until crispy about 20 minutes. Do not constantly or rapidly stir potatoes, waiting 3-4 minutes before flipping. You want a crispy crust to form on the potatoes.
  • At the halfway point of frying potatoes, add the sliced onions to the potatoes. Continue to cook until the potatoes are crispy.
  • Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh dill or green onions.
