Description

These tasty fried potatoes are first cooked in an Instant Pot, then chilled (creating a resistant starch) and then fried. 


Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs russet potatoes
2-3 tablespoons oil, (avocado, tallow, or expeller-pressed coconut oil)

Several shakes of my House Seasoning or salt, pepper, and spices of your choice.

Ingredients for my House Seasoning:

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper


Instructions

Prep the potatoes:

  1. Peel the potatoes and rinse them.
  2. Place them in the Instant Pot with 1 cup water (for a 6-quart model) or 1 ½ cups water (for an 8-quart model). Pressure cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Do a quick release, then carefully remove the potatoes to a bowl.
  4. Let them cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then refrigerate until completely cold.

Fry the potatoes:

  1. Mix the house seasoning together. 
  2. Slice the desired number of chilled potatoes.
  3. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil (avocado oil or expeller-pressed coconut oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the sliced potatoes in a single layer as much as possible. Season generously with my house seasoning (or salt, pepper, and any other spices you like).
  5. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, then turn and fry for another 4-5 more minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately.

Notes

The house seasoning is so flavorful and is great to have on hand for seasoning these potatoes and other veggies and meats.
