Method
Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes until soft, then transfer them to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator until completely cold.
Cut the chilled potatoes into roughly half‑inch cubes.
Heat a large skillet over high heat and add 1 tbsp of oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering.
Add the potato cubes in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the pan, and let them cook without stirring until the bottom side is golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes.
Flip the potatoes and continue cooking until the other side is equally browned, another 4–5 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve hot with ketchup.
Tips while you cook
- Chill potatoes fully
- Cool the boiled potatoes in the refrigerator until completely cold before cubing.
- Single‑layer pan arrangement
- Place the potato cubes in a single layer without crowding the skillet.
- Undisturbed cooking per side
- Let the potatoes cook 4–5 minutes on each side without stirring before flipping.
