Pan-fried potatoes are one of the most loved side dishes by adults and children, perfect for accompanying meat or fish-based main courses, a valid alternative to baking . Simple to make, they can be served on any occasion, from an informal family lunch to a special holiday dinner . Simply cut the potatoes into chunks, previously blanched in boiling water for a few seconds, then cook them in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a knob of butter: the result will be tender at the heart and crunchy on the outside . A delicacy that no one will be able to resist.

We suggest using new and very fresh potatoes, preferably white or yellow: they will be soft inside and crunchy on the surface; cut them of equal size, so that cooking is uniform . For a more rustic result, you can leave the peel on , while we suggest soaking them in cold water for about 30 minutes – changing the water from time to time – to remove excess starch.

For an even more intense flavour, you can flavor them with a mix of spices of your liking, with aromatic herbs such as rosemary , fresh or dried, or with sweet paprika. Once ready, do not cover them, as the humidity will compromise their crunchiness, and enjoy them immediately by dipping them in your favorite sauce and accompanying them with a roast , a delicious hamburger or grilled fish .
