1 Video | Photo: Perfect Crispy Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 russet potatoes, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high, add the water, stir, and cover the pan with a lid. Steam the potatoes until the water evaporates, about 3 or 4 more minutes. (Every 1 to 2 minutes, open the lid long enough to stir the potatoes so they don't stick.) Lower the heat to medium, and saute another 1 to 2 minutes until all traces of water are gone. Toss in the butter and stir to coat the potatoes. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven until the potatoes are crisp and browned to your liking, about 15 to 25 minutes depending on how dark you want them. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve.

Love these, I have tried many recipes looking for this exact combination, crunchy yet creamy. I have found it. I made these for Fathers day Brunch and they were a huge hit. I did tweak a little by adding bell pepper, onion and garlic. will definitely be making these again. No problem with sticking, actually used a little less oil.
great toppers-
sour cream
salsa
cheese...delish!

These were good but did not live up to the hype in all the other reviews. I followed the recipe exactly, and I am a potato loving girl but these were not very exciting. Also despite the oil they did tend to really stick to the pan. I may use aluminum foil the next time I try this and hopefully they will taste better, but honestly I'd rather just do baked or mashed potatoes if I get the same results from this recipe.
