Tips for Extra Crispy Pan Roasted Potatoes

Dry the potatoes thoroughly

After washing the potatoes, pat them dry with paper towels. Excess moisture prevents the potatoes from developing a crisp golden crust.

Don’t overcrowd the pan

Leave enough space between the potatoes while cooking. Overcrowding creates steam and prevents proper browning.

Use medium heat

Cooking over medium heat allows the potatoes to become crispy outside while cooking evenly inside without burning.

Turn the potatoes occasionally

Turn the potatoes every few minutes so all sides become evenly golden brown and crisp.

Use a heavy skillet

A heavy-bottomed skillet distributes heat more evenly and helps create the best texture for pan roasted potatoes.
