Scrub potatoes, but don't peel them, or do peel them, if you wish. Cut into chunky, bite-sized pieces. Place in a microwave-safe dish, add 1 tb of water, partially cover with a lid or waxed paper and microwave for 3 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly--a few minutes will do. Place in a large bowl and blot dry with a paper towel. Drizzle 1 tb of oil over the potatoes, season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat potatoes. The oil will help the seasonings stick to the potatoes and help the potatoes brown more evenly. Heat remaining 2 tb of oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold potatoes in a single layer, over a medium flame. Give the pan plenty of time to get hot, then add the potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nicely browned and crisp on the outside, 7 to 9 minutes. Be careful to make sure all surfaces of the potatoes get a chance to brown. I used a pair of wooden spatulas to turn them individually, as needed. Transfer cooked potatoes to a bowl with a slotted spoon and gently toss with fresh herbs. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, as needed, and serve. Recipe by Terry Boyd Recipe FROM: MMMMM
