using a 10.25 inch skillet and it seems the potatoes are a little tight fitting, don’t worry because they will shrink as they cook. it’s important to have the potatoes in one layer for best results. you are looking for golden brown skin and that won’t happen if they are sitting on top of each other. if you don’t have a 12 inch cast iron skillet, i highly recommend buying one. it is one of my favorite pans and lasts beyond a lifetime if taken care of properly. they are inexpensive and a must for every kitchen.
in your skillet, mix together the potatoes, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
