Prepping Skillet Potatoes

For those seeking a bit more finesse in their skillet potatoes, consider par-boiling the potatoes first. This additional step promotes more even cooking, achieving a perfect balance of crispy exteriors and tender interiors.

And if this isn’t ranch-y enough for you, I definitely suggest you eat these dipped in some Buttermilk Ranch Dressing/Dip. Mmmhmm.

Ingredients

Serving Suggestion

  • Buttermilk Ranch Dip/Dressing

Instructions

  1. Peel potatoes and dice to about 1/4" cubes. The smaller they are, the faster they will cook. Try to keep the sizes uniform-ish for even cooking.
  2. Put diced potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until about halfway done. They should still be firm when pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain and add to skillet over medium heat with 3 Tbsp butter/oil/fat of choice. Cover skillet with a lid to keep the steam inside, accelerating the cooking time.
  4. Pan-fry, stirring occasionally to prevent burning or over-browning.
  5. Add remaining 2 Tbsp butter and Ranch Dip Seasoning Blend to the skillet, stir to coat completely, and remove from heat.
  6. Serve warm. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a touch of butter/oil for best results.
  7. Best served with a side of Explorado Market Ranch Dip (recipe here).
