Equipment
- Non-stick Frying pan
- Measuring spoon
Ingredients
- 7 medium potatoes
- 2 tbsp oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Then, slice them into very thin slices (as thin as you can).
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and let them cook without stirring for 4 minutes until a brown crust forms on the bottom.
- Flip the potatoes using a spatula so the brown side is on top, and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Stir the potatoes to break them up and reduce the heat to low. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Taste the potatoes to ensure they are not undercooked. If needed, cook them for a few more minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, make sure not to stir them too often while cooking, allowing a golden-brown crust to form.
- You can add additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or herbs for extra flavor.
