I think you gave very good advice, Madonna. We all learn and share from each other and I’m like you, I don’t have to rush like I did when we had four kids to get places. Your crispy potatoes is a simple dish, but cooked to perfection. They would be a lovely accompaniment to so many meat courses, or even for breakfast or lunch. You have me wanting to go make some right now! Thanks for the inspiration.
Enjoy your day, while savoring your time in the kitchen!
Thanks so much Kitty. I don’t think I could do what I did and still cook like I once did. I guess there is an advantage to cooking in smaller batches. I hope you will give them a try.
I enjoy posts with technique ideas even though I am an experience cook. I too have readers who’ve been too busy with life to learn to cook and I always think about them when I write. This technique is new to me and I will give it a try. Crispy potatoes go with everything.

Sam, you are such a good cook, I can’t imagine teaching you anything, but I am happy you stop by with kind words.
The fact that you have such a diverse readership is a complement to you and the way you present your material. I certainly enjoy many of your recipes, i.e., the salad with delicata squash which has become a real favorite.
Oh my gosh, I am so glad you made delicata squash, those little guys are so good. I am thrilled when someone likes what I like. Thanks for stopping by Linda.
These look delicious, Madonna. There’s nothing I like better than crispy potatoes (or bacon). Cooking smaller amounts is an adjustment, but like you say, one can focus on technique and, dare I say, a few more pricey ingredients once in awhile.
Nothing cheaper than a potato, but I know what you mean. I am trying to do what Julia Child said and try to make it the very best. Thank you so much for stopping by, I love hearing from you.

I love the idea of the water and oil together, Madonna! I have been cooking for my family for years and have never even thought about this approach. Thanks for sharing a great tip! Hugs…Debbie
Debbie, the water steams them and when you remove the lid and the water evaporates the small amount of oil will crisp the bottom. I think you will like them, especially if you are cooking for one or two. As always, thank you for stopping by, love your input.

Good cooking is good technique — one can never stress technique too much. Perfect dish — I love potatoes cooked this way. Thanks.
Thanks John. I am sure you did not need this information. I am always striving for good technique when I make anything. Thank you for stopping by, love your comments.
You would think I would have learned my lesson not to read any food blogs before lunch (sigh) but evidently I didn’t because now I am frantically searching my pantry for little Dutch yellow potatoes…
Wonderful technique and very, very well explained! Bravo!
Nancy, what a compliment. I have learned so much from you, I know I can’t teach you anything, but I am thrilled you would read my post. Thanks for stopping by.
We can all learn from each other. We all have unique ways of doing similar things. I love this technique and have never done potatoes this way. Thanks!
Chris, I have learned so much from you. This is a nice way if you are cooking in small batches. Thanks for stopping by, you know I love hearing from you.
I love potatoes prepared this way. Often I cook for just myself and this is an easy way to prepare just enough for a meal. This preparation may not be fancy but it is delicious and one of my favorite ways to cook potatoes.
Cathy, I am so glad to hear you make these too. They really are perfect for small portion cooking.
I just bought a couple pounds of potatoes from a local farm, so I’ll definitely be trying this method of making them! Always like trying new things. Found you on Foodie Fridays – thanks for sharing!
I hope you like them Chelsea.
No matter if you are a beginner cook or a chef, I think we are all interested in how others prepare ingredients. Nice post.
Thanks Karen. No need to tell you how to make anything, but I appreciate your comments.
These look delicious! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
We will just love these potatoes, they look delicious! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope you stay warm and cozy on this cold day.
Come Back Soon!

Thank you so much for this recipe. My late aunt prepared her potatoes like this and I always loved them and never asked for her recipe. I plan on trying them soon and thinking of her when I do.
Lin, so happy to contribute to a good memory.
I adore potatoes cooked in this manner. The crispy skin is the perfect counterpoint for the creamy center. I think technique is extremely important, and I think cooks of any skill level appreciate reading what others have learned along the way. Yes, some know more than others, but one thing I will say with certainty is that I learn something new every darn time I walk into the kitchen or look at someone’s blog. And that can only be a good thing.
Thanks Adri. I am not sure where I learned this; I think it may have been my Dad. I have not used it because I always made them in the oven, but now that I cook in small portions this method works so well, and when it is hot I don’t have to turn on the oven.
