Tip
The relatively low starch content of red and gold potatoes helps them crisp. As an alternative to boiling the potatoes before you fry them, soak the slices in cold water for 5 to 10 minutes to remove some of the starch, then drain and pat dry before adding them to the hot pan. You can substitute olive oil for vegetable or canola, but avoid overheating it. Some olive oils have relatively slow smoking temperatures, so they catch fire at lower temperatures as well. Substitute butter for some of the cooking oil for a buttery flavor. Alternatively, melt some butter into the potatoes just before you remove them from the stove. Add sliced bell pepper, onion and/or garlic to the pan with the potatoes.
