Fried Potatoes

Fried potatoes made with just three ingredients and about 20 minutes at the stove. The recipe relies on groundnut oil, which tolerates the heat of a hot pan and has a mild, faintly nutty taste that lets the potato come through. Salting after rinsing seasons the slices evenly, and frequent flipping gives you golden edges instead of scorched patches. It suits any meal that needs a quick, hot side.

Instructions

Rinse the peeled, sliced potatoes under cold water, then season them with salt.

Heat the groundnut oil in a pan until it is hot. Add the potatoes once the oil is ready.

Cook the potatoes until they are golden all over, flipping them as needed so they color evenly.

Serve the potatoes while they are still hot.
