Kosher salt

vegetable oil (see note)

black pepper

chives, parsley, or tarragon (optional)

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Season heavily with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are completely tender, about 10 minutes after a boil is achieved (poke a potato with a sharp knife or cake tester to test for doneness).Drain in a colander set in the sink and let rest for 10 minutes to dry and cool slightly. 

Working one potato at a time, place potato on cutting board and smash firmly with the bottom of a heavy skillet to a thickness of about 1/2-inch thick. Transfer to a large plate or tray as you work.

Carefully flip with a thin metal spatula and cook until second side is golden brown and crisp, about five minutes longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and allow to drain.

Continue cooking potatoes in batches, adding more oil or fat as necessary, until all potatoes are cooked. Potatoes can then be left aside until ready to serve.

How to Make Jo Jo Potatoes

Julia Busuttil Nishimura&#8217;s herby fried potatoes are bursting with zing and verve thanks to the use of punchy Mediterranean flavours. Julia says: &#8220;My four-year-old named these, and they really are the best: the soft, fluffy potatoes have a crunchy, ragged exterior; the herby, salty topping is zingy; and they don&#8217;t require time roasting in the oven. I use small waxy potatoes as they tend to hold their shape.&#8221; This recipe is adapted from A Year of Simple Family Food by Julia Busuttil Nishimura (Plum £18.99). Or, try this neat variation on roast potatoes: crispy pan potatoes.

Best fried potatoes

waxy baby potatoes

capers,

parsley leaves

garlic clove

lemon

Put the potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water and bring to the boil over a high heat. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, then drain well.

Meanwhile, roughly chop the capers on a board. Add the parsley leaves and continue chopping. Finally add the garlic and continue to chop until you have an almost paste-like mixture. Transfer to a bowl and add the lemon zest, then set aside (see Make Ahead).

Put the potatoes on a flat surface. Using something flat, such as a plate or the bottom of a pan, gently squash the potatoes. Don’t completely crush them – you want them to mostly hold their shape.

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the potatoes to the hot oil and fry for around 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crunchy. Scatter over the parsley mixture and gently move the potatoes around so they’re coated and the capers become a little crispy. Serve (see tip).

Patatas bravas, Spanish spicy potatoes, are a simple but delicious snack. Chunks of potato are fried until perfectly crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside, before being drenched with a vibrant red sauce. It’s the perfect tapa to enjoy with friends and family, perhaps with a cocktail. Check out all my tips for the best fried potatoes!

Patatas Bravas - Spanish Fried Potatoes

Extra virgin olive oil, (or a healthy natural cooking oil of your choice)

Bravas Sauce Recipe, (our homemade recipe)

Garlic aioli of your choice, (store-bought is fine, optional)

Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.

As soon as the water boils, add the baking soda (it will foam a little). Carefully add the potatoes and allow the water to come to a boil. Boil the potatoes for about 1 to 2 minutes (no longer). Drain the potatoes well in a colander.

Transfer the potatoes to a large sheet pan and season them well with kosher salt. Toss to make sure the salt is well distributed, then be sure to spread the potatoes in one single layer.

Set the potatoes aside or transfer to the fridge to cool completely (you can do this ahead of time and leave the potatoes in the fridge overnight, but it’s important for them to cool completely).

In a medium skillet, heat 1 cup of the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to bubble gently, add one piece of potato to test, if the oil around it bubbles a lot, it is ready. Add the rest of the potatoes and spread them out well. You may need to do this in batches so as to not crowd the pan. Cook in the oil, tossing occasionally and making sure the potatoes are well-coated in the oil, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 20 to 25 minutes. Watch them carefully, as they can go from perfectly cooked to burned in a short time.

While the potatoes are cooking, work on the bravas sauce (if you did not make it ahead of time).

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a tray lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately season with another pinch of kosher salt.

Finish with a good drizzle of bravas sauce and aioli of your choice (if using). Serve immediately with more bravas sauce to the side.

Air fryer roasted potatoes go with just about anything! These air fryer fried potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and they cook in much less time than in the oven. They make a great side dish for dinner or you can serve them as breakfast potatoes! If you don’t have an Instant Pot air fryer or air fryer lid, you can use a traditional air fryer or bake them in the oven.

Instant Pot Air Fryer Potatoes

½ lbs potatoes ((⅔ kg) preferably

½ tsp black pepper powder

paprika

vegetable oil

Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel until they&#39;re completely dry. This is an important step.

Mix the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika in a medium bowl. Stir in the oil to make a paste.

Add the potatoes to the spice mix and coat evenly until every surface is covered.

Place the air fryer basket in the air fryer and coat with oil. You can either use a paper towel soaked with oil or an oil sprayer. Don&#39;t use canned aerosol oil as that can harm the coating of the air fryer basket.

Transfer the potatoes to the basket and make sure they&#39;re evenly spread out.

Close the lid and air fry for 18 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you are using an Instant Pot air fryer, partway through cooking, the display says turn Food.  If you are using an air fryer without this feature, set a timer to turn the potatoes 12 minutes into the cooking process.

Open the lid and using silicone mitts, lift the basket and shake the contents so the potatoes are tossed well.  Close the lid and continue cooking.

When the cooking time is up, open the lid and check to make sure the potatoes are cooked to your liking. Toss the potatoes again and air fry for another 2 minutes, if desired.

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.

Air Fryer Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat the foil with oil.

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and golden in color.
