Quick Sautéed Potatoes – The Perfect Side Dish for Any Meal (VIDEO)
It often happens that when we think about preparing lunch, it's much easier to choose the main course than the side dishes.
Sometimes in that process, it's best to pause, forget all the modern recipes we find online, and return to the old-fashioned, delicious side dishes that remind us of childhood and grandma’s kitchen.
One such side dish is sautéed potatoes. We all know how powerful and versatile potatoes are and that they can be prepared in a thousand ways, but few are as tasty and satisfying as sautéed potatoes.
They go perfectly with a variety of meals and can be an ideal addition to juicy oven-baked chicken fillet – a simple but perfect combination for a delicious and balanced lunch.
Recipe for Sautéed Potatoes
Ingredients
1 onion
800 grams of potatoes
2 tablespoons of oil (sunflower or olive)
1 teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
½ teaspoon of paprika (optional)
1 bunch of fresh parsley (optional)
Preparation
Peel the potatoes and slice them into rounds/slices (0.5 cm). Cook for 7–8 minutes in lightly salted water. Be careful not to overcook. Drain the potatoes and let them dry.

Fry without stirring for 4–5 minutes until a crust forms, then flip and repeat.
Add fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Extra Tips for the Best Sautéed Potatoes
Use starchy potatoes – white potatoes are best.
Dry the potatoes well before frying.
For a stronger flavor, add garlic powder or smoked paprika.
Lard or a mix of butter and oil gives a special taste.
