Tips/Notes
Cooking the potatoes in salted water adds a perfect amount of salt to the potatoes. I find it unnecessary to add any more salt to the final dish.
Make sure that the potatoes are as dry as possible. If in doubt, I like to pat them dry with paper towels. The dryer the potatoes, the better the browning.
If serving for breakfast, top with a poached or fried egg. If serving for dinner, pair with a simple green salad and brown soda bread rolls.
Leftovers, if any, can be gently reheated in a skillet with a bit of butter to restore crispiness.
