Instructions
In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat until shimmering.
Add the potatoes in one layer, season with salt and pepper if using.
Cook, undisturbed, until potatoes form a crust underneath that is visible at the bottom edges 4 to 5 minutes.
Flip potatoes and cook until golden on other side, 3 to 4 minutes more or until tender-al dente. Serve warm.
Notes
A cast iron skillet or stainless steel fry pan is best. Cast iron will give you an even cooking surface and retain heat the best.
Do not cover the potatoes while they are cooking as that will steam them and make them soggy.
Add fresh chopped herbs such as rosemary, thyme and tarragon at the same time as when salting.
Add spices cumin, chili or garlic powder after flipping the slices.
If you are cooking more than one batch of potatoes, transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven on its lowest heat setting.
