Step 1
Scrub the 4 medium potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Heat the 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the potato slices in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 4
Flip the potatoes and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all sides are crispy and golden, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Season with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, tossing to coat. Serve hot.
