Success

Using a skillet with a slanted side, such as an omelet pan, helps you easily slide the potatoes back into the skillet. These inexpensive nonstick pans are available in most discount or kitchen stores.

Special Touch

A dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley add flavor and color to this yummy potato side dish.
