Sautéed potatoes go great with almost any meat for dinner. Or serve them with eggs for breakfast, of course! Potatoes are on sale around here, .99 for a 10 pound bag of Russets. For dinner yesterday I made these to go with some barbecued flank steak.
Peel potatoes. Cut into 1/2″ slices, then cut those into 1/2″ pieces (so you end up with 1/2″ square “sticks”) then turn them sideways and cut into 1/2″ pieces. It’s a fast easy way to dice them.
Heat up a bit of oil and butter in a skillet (half of each). Put the potatoes in and stir up a bit to coat, then let them cook 5 minutes or so on medium heat until beginning to brown. Turn them, sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper and let brown. Keep turning them until they’re as brown as you like them. (We like them a bit crisp.) Goes great with just about any meat or for breakfast, of course. Add some diced onions if you’d like, although they’re quite good plain.
In Spain, we add a dash of hot sauce (ketchup, mayo and paprika or tabasco), to make ‘Patatas Bravas’, which goes great with something like chicken for dinner or can be a lunch on their own or with salad.
sound so easy but you just dhowed me how to make them. Thanx!
