Chef's Notes
Do not rush the initial boiling stage; if your potatoes are unevenly cooked, they will either fall apart in the pan or stay unpleasantly crunchy in the center.
Pro Tip
Using cast-iron for the pan-fry step guarantees that restaurant-quality crust that elevates these simple potatoes into a dish fit for royalty.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware the mustard seed stampede! Failing to lower your heat before tossing in the seeds will turn your kitchen into a miniature popcorn factory and burn the spices instantly.
