It isn't easy but it isn't hard.
I made just enough for myself so i only used one potato.
Peel potato and cut it into 1/2" cubes.
Bring to boil then simmer cubes under 1" water under tender but not falling apart.
Drain and return to pot and let sit 5 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in 10" non-stick skillet until shimmering.
Mash 1/4-1/3 of the potato with butter and then gently mix with the cubes.
Add to the skillet and cook until underside is golden crispy brown. While cooking season the top of the potato with whatever you want (I used shallot pepper and garlic salt).
Turn on broiler and invert a cookie sheet. When it's golden crispy brown on the bottom, slide it onto the cookie sheet with the cooked side down.
Brush with a little bit of oil.
Put under broiler until golden on top! I made this Friday and am going to have to do this again today. If you make it for more people, use a bigger skillet and cut wedges like pizza.
