Choose waxy potatoes for better shape retention after cooking.

Boil the potatoes with skin on one day ahead to absorb less water and stay firmer.

Do not overcook the potatoes.

Slice the cold potatoes into even thickness for even cooking; thicker slices are preferred for a creamier inside.

Heat a pan to medium and add butter as the cooking fat.

Do not overcrowd the pan; lay the cold potato slices in a single layer.

Cook the potatoes for around 5 minutes until the bottoms are golden before flipping them.

Season the potatoes with salt after flipping.

Remove the potatoes when they are crispy and caramelized, and serve immediately or keep warm in a preheated oven at 80° C on fan setting.
