Recipe Notes
When it comes to seasoning your potatoes, anything goes! I have yet to find a combination that I don’t like. For this recipe, I included parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. If you have it available, fresh herbs would also be delicious.
The time that it takes to cook your potatoes will vary, depending on how big or small your cut your potatoes. I aim for smaller pieces so that the potatoes cook a little faster, but any size will taste amazing. Whatever size you cut your potatoes, just aim to have them all the same size to ensure that they cook evenly.
If you like your potatoes a little more crispy on the outside, turn up the heat just a little bit and let them get those dark crusty spots on the outside – that is definitely my favorite way to enjoy these potatoes!

Love red skin potatoes! I use these for my potatoe salad, Mashed, fried!! Love your recipe for fried!
These potatoes were fantastic and I will cook them often from now on. Cooked pork chops and steamed squash with them. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing a great recipe. We loved it!
Do you cover the skillet with a lid when cooking or does it matter?Thanks!
So very good! I will definitely cook them longer next time to crisp them a little but they were a big hit with my family!
