Skillet Potatoes

Kim127's Note:

I came up with this recipe for the 11th RSC contest. I used red skinned potatoes but other types would work just as well. I boiled mine, but leftover baked potatoes would work also. These worked well with as a side dish with steak or with eggs for breakfast. We've also eaten them as the main dish. If you want a little more kick, increase the cayenne pepper to 1/4 teaspoon.

Great potatoes! We loved them. I also served them with eggs and it was a wonderful combination of flavors. Thanks, Kim127.

Fantastic (and it does go great with eggs)! I used red-skin potatoes, but steamed them in the microwave first to soften. I will be making this often. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT5.

Omg! I would give you 10 stars for this recipe. My family loved loved it. This recipe is hidden, it needs to be discovered. An Amazing potato side. I only regret that I didn't double the recipe, cuz we had no leftovers for lunch. We topped the potatoes with 3 Cheese Ranch Salad dressing and it really made it even that much better. Thank you for posting this recipe and I will make again soon. I made for team "Cooks With Dirty Faces" for ZWT5
