Preparation

Step 1
Put the potatoes in a saucepan and add cold water to cover. Add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Cook about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and when they are cool enough to handle, peel them. Cut them crosswise into slices about one inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat about 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet (preferably nonstick).
Step 4
When it is quite hot, add half the potato slices and cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and brown on one side. Turn the slices and cook on the other side until crisp and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper towels.
Step 5
Add more oil to the skiller if necessary, and cook the remaining potato slices as before.
Step 6
Pour off any remaining oil. Wipe the skillet clean and add the butter.
Step 7
Return the potatoes to the skillet and stir gently. Sprinkle with the parsley.
