How To Make Pan Fried Potatoes

Potatoes have been a cornerstone of the human diet for centuries and are a staple crop in many countries. Potatoes provide many nutrients and take on flavors very well. The tried and true standby meal of a steak and baked potato is delicious, but it can get boring after the 100^th time. Pan-fried potatoes are an easy way to add some extra flavor into your side dish. You can experiment with seasoning, making spicy Cajun potatoes or a subtle garlic and herb variation. The warm crispy potatoes will have you wishing it was the entire meal. You can even mix some vegetables in with the potatoes for a delicious way to get all your suggested servings. Green beans or bell peppers make a wonderful complement.
