    Hi

    Silly question - but what's the best way to sauté or fry up leftover baby potatoes? Last time I did it I ended up burning them.....

    any suggestions? Or would roasting them in the oven (how long) be the best bet?

    Thanks in advance

    I normally chop them up into slices fry in preheated olive oil and add salt,pepper,paprika, thyme and garlic powder. Fry on high heat for 5 - 7 minutes and hey presto crispy potatoes.
    The kids eat it so must be ok!

    I usually just slice them in half and fry them in plenty of real butter on a medium heat, flipping them every minute or so to prevent them from burning. Frying with oil causes them to burn more easily.

    I make home fries.

    Basically cube what's leftover, toss them in olive oil & grind rock salt over them, then into a hot oven for about 20 minutes.

    Or...

    Get a can of corned beef, cube everything & fry it up to a corned beef hash

    I cut them into cubes and fry them in butter with leftover meat and a few veggies. Keep an eye on them and they won't burn.

    Loads of paprika! I have been known to boil and fry potatoes from scratch when there were no leftover spuds to hand.

    Smash two/three gloves of garlic into hot frying pan with rapeseed oil. Toss in potatoes (have them cut into fairly even sizes). The add some fresh rosemary leaves, salt and pepper. Keep tossing in the frying pan until they are crispy and golden coloured. Absolutely delicious. In fact boiling potatoes now to have them ready to do the above later tonight.
