   💡Parboiling softens the potatoes all the way through, and the skillet just browns and crisps them on the outside.

   💡The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
3. 3
   Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the potatoes and fry 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

   💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
