Crispy, buttery, and yummy, these simple skillet potatoes are a staple in my home. I remember my mom making them when I was a child. I don't know where the recipe originated. It's a great recipe for when the oven is holding a roast and you need to make the potatoes on the stove. A great alternative to mashed potatoes.
