Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (preferably cast iron or nonstick), add the oil, then sauté the potatoes until lightly browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. You may need to do this in batches; don’t crowd the pan. Add a bit of salt, and pepper if you like, and toss and stir frequently.

Step 2

Remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
