Healthy Pan-Fried Potatoes

Lately, I have been realizing the joy it is to eat potatoes. I haven’t always been the biggest fan, and neither is my husband, but we have been looking to switch things up while still sticking to a budget. I figured I would buy a few potatoes and see what I could come up with.

I had remembered my mom teaching me a specific method of getting potatoes perfectly crispy by frying in the pan instead of baking them in the oven because honestly I usually forget they are in there...

These potatoes taste amazing, are simple, and wholesome!

So here is my secret to perfectly cooked crispy potatoes (Thanks Mom!)

You will need

  • 2 White potatoes

  • Coconut oil

  • Your favorite spices

  • Large Skillet

Directions

Add oil to your skillet so that it evenly coats the bottom of your pan.

Thinly slice the potatoes evenly and place in the bottom of your pan.

Let cook on medium heat until they are brown, flip and do the same to the other side.  

Once perfectly crispy, season with your favorite spices and serve!

NOTE: If you want to make a hash brown version of this, cut potatoes into small rectangles after thinly slicing them and follow directions accordingly.   

Thank you again for stopping by!

Love,

Sonya
