How to Make Skillet Roasted Potatoes

Skillet Roasted Potatoes Ingredients

Potatoes: Choose small new potatoes. Wash potatoes thoroughly, as you don’t need to peel them. If using slightly larger potatoes, cut into halves. 

Herbs: Use rosemary, parsley, or other herbs. You can use freshly chopped or dried herbs. Add just one herb, or a mix of herbs.

Allium: Add minced garlic or chopped onion at the end, along with the herbs.

Spices: To add extra flavor you can add spices such as paprika, black pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes.

Water: Use water or add even more flavor by using chicken or vegetable broth.

How to Make Stovetop Potatoes 

These skillet roasted potatoes are first cooked over high heat with a little water, and then allowed to brown and finish cooking over a low heat. This makes the potatoes wonderfully crisp on the outside and creamy and moist on the inside.

It’s important not to crowd the pan and cook the poateoes in a single layer. So be sure to use a large skillet.
