Slotted spoon
Cast-iron skillet (preferred)

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.
