Easy potatoes . . .

This is an easy way to have a nice potato sidedish without a lot of hassle.

Thoroughy wash and cut into quarters about ten (depends on the crowd you are feeding!) of the smallish, new potatoes. Put them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil, turn down to simmer until JUST done. You don't want them 'falling apart' cooked at this point.

Heat up a couple tablespoons of oil and some butter in a large frying pan. Toss in your potatoes and cook until golden and crisp on each side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
