Crispy fried potatoes

Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 2 ½ kg potatoes
• Fat, for frying
• some salt and pepper
• Parsley
• Paprika powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Peel the potatoes and cut into wedges. Briefly wash them and place them in a sieve. Heat a stainless steel or iron skillet until very hot. Then add fat to the hot skillet and let it heat up. Quickly add the raw potatoes to the skillet and season with salt. Immediately cover and sear. After a while, shake the pan to loosen the potatoes from the bottom. Shake repeatedly or use a spatula to loosen the potatoes. After about 10 minutes, reduce the heat and season with pepper and paprika. After another 10 minutes, test for doneness with a knife. If the potatoes are cooked through but not crispy enough, remove the lid and let them sear for a little longer. Sprinkle the fried potatoes with parsley and serve. This way, the fried potatoes retain their typical potato flavor! Tip: I prefer waxy potatoes. Note: This recipe is not suitable for non-stick pans.
