Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into about 1 inch pieces. Place the potatoes in a colander and wash with cold water. Rinse and wash the potatoes a few times to remove any excess starch. Shake the colander to remove excess water. Set aside.
- In a large deep sided cast iron skillet, add the oil over high heat. Bring up to temperature. Add one potato and if it sizzles, add the rest. Add all the potatoes to the skillet, be careful so the oil doesn't splatter.
- Cook the potatoes until golden brown, crisp on the outside and tender and soft on the inside. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the oil and place them on a large plate with paper towels. Season with salt and serve immediately.
