These cast iron skillet potatoes are crispy and golden on the outside, soft and tender inside. All you need is a skillet, potatoes, and simple seasonings.
Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1-2 Tablespoons butter. Once butter has melted add the 1 pound diced potatoes into the skillet.
Cook for a minute and then sprinkle 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper over top. Cook for 10-12 more minutes (or until fork tender), stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside on a plate once cooked.
Top with fresh herbs if desired. Serve while hot.
Notes
Fresh herbs: The herbs really take these potatoes up a notch. I love adding freshly chopped rosemary, thyme or parsley.Variations: I prefer baby gold potatoes, but red will work great too. Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.Freeze: Cool completely, then freeze in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the skillet.
