Best Skillet Fried Red Potatoes Recipes

FRIED RED POTATOES

Steps:

• In the Instant Pot: Put about a cup of water in the bottom of the pot. Set a wire rack inside and place red potatoes on the rack. Close and seal the lid, then cook on STEAM for 5 minutes.
• In the oven: Place red potatoes directly on the oven rack. Turn oven on to 350 and bake for 30-40 minutes. Test with a fork; remove potatoes from the oven when a fork can pierce the potatoes somewhat easily.
• Set cast iron frying pan on high heat to warm.
• Cut potatoes into 1/2 - 3/4 inch cubes.
• Pour oil into frying pan, allowing it to heat up for a minute or so.
• Slide cubed potatoes into the hot frying pan. Use caution as the oil may splatter.
• Shake frying pan back and forth so the potatoes slide in the oil. Repeat several times. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Allow potatoes to cook for about 10 minutes without disturbing them, then use a spatula to flip them. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until red potatoes are fried to a crispiness you like.

CRISP SAUTéED RED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Once butter is melted and hot, arrange potatoes in the skillet, cut-side-down in one layer. Cook uncovered and undisturbed 8-10 minutes or until golden brown crust forms on the bottoms.
• Turn potatoes then cover and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown on the second side, you'll hear it spit and splatter under the lid; just be careful when you first lift of the lid as juices from the lid can dribble into the pan and splatter. Keep the wee ones away from the stove. In hind sight, a dutch oven with taller walls might have been a better choice to cook these.
• Turn the potatoes again, cover and cook another 5 minutes or until you can easily pierce potatoes with a knife. Remove from heat and sprinkle with salt & pepper (I used about 3/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper), toss with 2 Tbsp chives. Sprinkle with more fresh chives just before serving and enjoy.
