Crispy pan-fried potatoes

Crispy pan-fried potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side or a main course. This recipe combines the earthy flavor of potatoes with the rich taste of sun-dried tomatoes and the freshness of parsley. It's an easy and quick way to turn simple ingredients into a tasty and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
50g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Scrub and wash the potatoes thoroughly. Optionally, you can peel them if you prefer.
- Slice the potatoes into even-sized pieces, about 1/4-inch thick for even cooking.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil.
3. Cook the Potatoes:
- Add the sliced potatoes to the hot olive oil in a single layer. It's important not to overcrowd the pan to ensure the potatoes become crispy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them carefully to ensure even cooking.
- Toss the pan occasionally but not too often to keep the crust intact.
4. Add the Sun-Dried Tomatoes:
- While the potatoes are cooking, roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the pan for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to allow them to warm through and release their flavors.
5. Finishing Touches:
- Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, remove the pan from heat.
- Roughly chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the potatoes. Give it a gentle toss to incorporate the parsley evenly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the crispy pan-fried potatoes to a serving dish.
- Enjoy immediately while they’re still hot and crispy!

Tips:

- Make sure to cut the potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.

- Boil the potatoes briefly before frying to get the perfect crispy texture.

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the potatoes from sticking and for easier cleanup.

- Don't overcrowd the pan; fry the potatoes in batches if necessary to ensure they get crispy.

- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and parsley at the end to preserve their flavors and textures.

By following these steps, you can make crispy pan-fried potatoes that are bursting with flavor. The combination of crispy edges, savory seasoning, and the brightness of fresh parsley makes this dish truly special. Enjoy them as a standalone snack or as a perfect accompaniment to your favorite meal.
