  • Place vegan butter, butter or oil 1 Tablespoon at a time, into the hot skillet.
    • Only add enough to accommodate all of your potatoes.
      • TIP: Place one by one onto the skillet directly in the melted butter, ensuring both exposed cut sides touch the butter. Doing this step will ensure that all parts get crispy brown.
  • Once all potatoes are in the skillet, spray the top with canola or olive oil (optional) and season with half of the seasonings.
    • Spraying them with oil helps the herbs stick to the skin.
  • After about 4 minutes, use a fork or spatula to tip the potato onto its other side to brown evenly.
  • Then, after another 3-4 minutes, flip the potatoes on their backsides (skin side down)
  • Season with remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Cook for another 2-4 minutes until crispy and golden brown on all sides.
