Ingredients
- 2 pounds Potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Vegetable oil or other cooking fat (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Rinse the sliced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet to allow the potatoes to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Turn the potatoes frequently to prevent burning. Remove the cover and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
