Ingredients
- 4 Yukon Gold potatoes or Russet
- salt and pepper
- oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut in half.
- Add them to cold salted water and bring to the boil
- Cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and not falling apart. Drain and let cool slightly.
- When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into slices and sprinke liberally with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium-high heat. Once hot add in a few potato slices at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper to drain. Repeat with the rest of the potato slices.
- Sprinkle with salt and garnish with fresh herbs to serve.
Notes
- Start cooking the potatoes in cold water. If you put them in boiling water they won't cook evenly through.
- Take care not to overcook the potatoes or they will easily fall apart. They should be just fork tender.
- Get the oil nice and hot before frying and adjust the temperature as needed so that they don't burn or take to long to brown.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the slices. This will cause the temperature of the oil to drop. Do 4 or 5 at a time.
