Food Photo of the Day ~ Pan - Fried Potatoes

 

Pan-fried potatoes are fabulous way to make use up potatoes and create a simple savoury side dish. My mum would make pan-fried potatoes quite frequently as it was a way to stretch out a meal and ensure everything was used up whether it be leftovers or remaining vegetables lay about.

Simple boil the potatoes whole, with the skins on, until just tender. Drain and allow to cool a bit so you can slice and handle them without burning yourself. Slice and place the slices in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and seasoning. Warm a frypan over medium-high heat and place the sliced potatoes in the frypan carefully and fry until golden, turning slices over to evenly brown both sides. You can do this with leftover potatoes, you won't have to toss them in olive oil; just melt a pat of butter in the frying pan to flavour and warm them up sufficiently.
