- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil plus more for frying
Instructions

- Add the oil to a skillet large enough to hold all the potato pieces in a single layer and heat over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
- Add the potatoes and allow them to brown before stirring or flipping, about 5 minutes.
- Continue cooking and flipping occasionally until the potatoes are done.
- Potatoes are done when they are soft in the middle. Continue cooking for darker and crispier potatoes if desired.
- When the potatoes are done, remove them from the skillet and drain them on paper towels or a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
