No one likes soggy potatoes, especially when it comes to sautéing them. The secret to getting them extra crispy? One. Make sure the pan is extra hot. Once you throw on the potatoes, you should hear them sizzle. Two. No overcrowding the pan! If you need to, cook them in batches instead. Not leaving enough room in between will steam the potatoes instead. The end result should be potatoes that are both crispy on the outside and mealy on the inside. Try this recipe alongside a hearty meat dish such as these Grilled Lamb Chops with Roasted Hatch Chiles!
