North American Style-Fried or Browned Potatoes

No 1- Cut boiled potatoes into slices one-fourth of an inch thick. Heat a very little fat in a frying-pan and sauté, the slices, browning on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.

Note:  Many restaurants now deep fry these potatoes. This “Americanization” gives them an entirely different, highly inferior, flavour and texture.

No. 2- Cut, the potatoes in a ½ inch dice, and add them to the hot fat in the frying-pan. Season potatoes with salt and pepper and sauté, stirring constantly, until the potatoes look yellow and are cooking well. Then cover the pan, set in a slow oven for five minutes and serve in a heated dish.
