SAUTE POTATO RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
• If your pan isn’t large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches – rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
• Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don’t stir until they start to brown underneath.
• Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over – this can take about 7 mins.
• Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and place in a saucepan. Cover with water and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool to touch. Peel potatoes and cut into slices. There should be about 6 cups.
• Heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook potatoes, while tossing and shaking pan, about 10 minutes until golden and crusty on both sides. Add remaining tablespoon of butter. Add garlic and parsley.
• Toss and stir. Serve.
