Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp butter unsalted
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt (more to taste if desired)

Instructions

  • Peel and wash potatoes.
  • Chop potatoes in ~1/2 inch cubes.
  • Melt butter in large skillet (I prefer cast iron), and when skillet is warm, add potatoes and stir to coat with the butter.
  • Don't add too many potatoes at a time. Use a skillet big enough that the potatoes make a single layer in the skillet. If your skillet is not big enough, you might need to do 2 batches.
  • Stir potatoes around every few minutes to prevent sticking or burning. If potatoes start sticking or the skillet looks dry, add a small amount more of butter. Continue to toss potatoes in the butter every few minutes until thicker pieces can easily be pierced with a fork and the potatoes are nice and brown.
  • Add the seasoned salt (more or less per your taste) and mix the potatoes in the salt and butter to evenly coat.
  • Serve alongside your favorite choice of meal! We LOVE these with a good steak, another veggie, and fresh warm rolls!
