Chef's Notes
Do not skip parboiling your potatoes! That brief hot water bath gelatinizes the starches on the exterior while cooking the inside, guaranteeing a magnificent crunch when they hit the oil.
Pro Tip
Pat your boiled potato slices completely dry with a paper towel before they enter the frying pan. Water is the sworn enemy of a proper, crispy golden crust!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Tossing the raw onions and bacon into the pan at the exact same time as the potatoes will burn your aromatics to a bitter charcoal long before the spuds even know what hit them. Follow the timeline, or prepare for tears!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the potato cross the road? To escape the royal chef before he could slice it into quarter-inch rounds!
The Culinary Science
Waxy potatoes hold their shape better than starchy russets because they contain more moisture and less starch, preventing them from turning into sad, oily mush in your skillet.
