Notes

  1. If using organic potatoes, you can also leave the peel on.
  2. Cut the potatoes into equal size pieces so that they get cooked evenly. Instead of making cubes, you can also make potato slices. Slices will get cooked faster than cubes. However, if you are cutting the potatoes into slices, make slightly thick slices as thin slices will break easily.
  3. You can also parboil (not completely boil) the potatoes and then sauté them in the pan.
  4. Use a large skillet or pan so that you can easily spread the potatoes in a single layer and sautéing them becomes easier. If you don't have a pan large enough to do that, pan-fry them in batches.
  5. Fry potatoes on medium-high heat, not low heat, if you want to make them crispy.
  6. Don't overcook the potatoes otherwise, they will start falling apart.
  7. Gently move the potatoes in the pan otherwise they will break.
  8. Feel free to season these potatoes with herbs and seasonings of your choice.
  9. If you like spicy food, add some chili flakes or chili powder once the potatoes are almost ready. If you add chili flakes or powder too soon, they will get burned.
  10. Non-vegans may also add some butter to sauté the potatoes.
  11. You can follow the same recipe to make pan-fried sweet potatoes.
  12. Use a large non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to make these golden potatoes. Avoid using a stainless-steel pan as the potatoes will stick to the bottom of the pan and then will start breaking.
  13. The cooking time may vary depending on the variety of potatoes you are using, the size of your potato cubes, and also how crispy you want to make them.
