These pan-fried crispy roast potatoes, aka gebratene Kartoffeln, are so quick and easy to make. They'll become one of your favorites to add to your collection of easy lunch recipes as well as for dinner.
If you have new potatoes or ones that have a fairly thin skin, just leave the skins on, wash by scrubbing well, and cut into wedges or chunks.
Thick-skinned potatoes should be peeled first. Cut a medium-sized potato into 4 to 6 pieces. Season with salt and pepper (freshly ground, if possible) or use your favorite seasoning salt. Now, just fry! Done! Easy!
You can add parsley, chives, and/or oregano, or your favorite herb. Personally, I could just eat a whole plateful of roast potatoes and be satisfied!

Among fried potato recipes, this is my favorite if I've forgotten to pre-cook potatoes to make Bratkartoffeln, shown below, and all I have is raw potatoes.
Most roasted potato recipes are done in the oven, but they take a lot longer to make, delicious ... if one has time.
This stovetop version is a great alternative to the traditional 'Bratkartoffeln' when you don't have leftover cooked potatoes.
To make this dish even faster, slice the raw potatoes instead of using chunks. That's MY quick version when I feel like I need a 'potato fix'!
