    Add garlic cloves, rosemary and thyme to your butter and oil while it melts. Increases the flavor. After drying, boil or microwave the spuds till they are a little soft, but still firm. Then fry. This cuts down time dramatically

      How long do you nuke them before frying ?

      Use a little duck fat, tallow and ghee. Dice up a slice of bacon and start that first. Add in those fats and salt, pepper, whatever herbs you want. Heaven 💜

    I've got cast iron skillets from 4 inch all the way up to 18 inches! I use big mama to make pan pizza in the oven. Some of my cast iron is close to 100 years old. They were passed down from my Grandma and were used when she got them!

    I didn't know that soaking prevented stickage at all, will definitely try again.

    I have fried my Potatoes without any sticking, and they were never soaked/rinsed beforehand.....as you said in another comment, it's all about temperature control. Sometimes I cook my potatoes at about a #7 on an electric stove, then I bring it down to a #5.

    • @speedieguy
      @speedieguy  3 роки тому

      Soaking and drying is more about getting them crispy.

      I was just going to say, I keep it at a nice even #6 on my electric stove & that works for everything. No up & down. My son can't cook on it because he gets impatient & thinks it will cook faster if he turns itup to #9 or 10. Then he complains thar everything burns or sticks to CI! You can only tell them so many times, after that they need to figure it out on their own!

    Is the butter the key reason why the potatoes don't stick? I found some time ago that I could fry an omelette in a stainless steel pan without any sticking whatsoever, but it was *essential* to use butter. No oil, just butter. I use unsalted butter. Previously, I had only used a Teflon pan for omelettes.

      Oil or butter should work. Temperature control is the key to prevent sticking.

    • @itsmejohne
      @itsmejohne 4 роки тому +2

      I haven't made these his way yet, from my experience a properly "seasoned" cast iron skillet and waiting until whatever you're cooking is seared is the secret to not sticking, i'm personally always cautious when adding butter and generally dont add it until the last couple minutes of cooking and never have a problem with anything sticking ever.

    • @paulaw418
      @paulaw418 3 роки тому +2

      I use a nice pat of butter & on my electric stove I set the control to 6 & I LEAVE IT THERE! I don't preheat on high, or adjust the temp up & down. My cast iron gets 2 setting on my stove... #6 or OFF. Put the butter on & when it melts & sizzles it is ready! Put your food on & don't touch until it's ready to flip!

      I've never tried frozen potatoes but I would think that if they were thawed and dried off that you would get good results. Just don't overload the pan.

    • @speedieguy
      @speedieguy  2 роки тому

      Depends on the type and amount of potatoes and the size of your pan. After your potatoes have dried try coating them with oil in a bowl first. Add a couple of tablespoons of oil to your pre-heated pan and then add the potatoes leaving any excess oil in the bowl. Towards the end of the process the potatoes should be fairly dry.

      Absolutely! But I have seen an egg cooked non-stick on a freshly stripped skillet. Temperature control is the number one factor in cooking without sticking in my opinion.

      Temp control is the key. Also, too many potatoes and not enough oil could lead to sticking. I'm not selling anything or making any profit from my videos. Sorry it didn't work for you.
