Crispy Sauteed Potatoes

Step 1

Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Turn off the heat and drain off the water. Carefully give the pan a shake to 'fluff-up' the potatoes slightly.

Step 3

Heat the oil over a high heat in a large frying pan.

Step 4

Place the potatoes in the pan and cook on high, turning often until very lightly browned – this should take about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Then sprinkle on the salt and pepper, and cook again, turning often, for a further 5 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 6

Turn off the heat, allow to cool for 30 seconds, then add the garlic to the pan (adding the garlic earlier will cause it to burn, giving it a nasty acidic taste).

Step 7

Give it a stir, to infuse the garlic flavour in the potatoes, then remove from the heat and serve.
