Step 1
Scrub the 4 potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch cubes. No need to peel if the skins are thin.
Step 2
Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the potato cubes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 4
Stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-12 minutes more.
Step 5
Season with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat and serve hot.
