- Black pepper, to taste
Equipment

Method
- Wash the potatoes and leave the skins on. Cut them into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes.
- Put them in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are almost tender.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Add butter if using. Add rosemary or parsley if using.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and add them to the skillet.
- Sauté until the outsides are golden and crisp, seasoning with salt as they cook.
- Cut one cube in half to check the center is tender.
- Add black pepper and more salt to taste, then serve hot.
Notes
- Don't cook the potatoes until they're falling apart during the parboiling step or they can break up in the skillet.
- Cooked leftovers can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days.
