This is great to prepare in a good Sauté Pan with tall sides like this one I’m using, or a Kazan, or good quality Dutch. Really anything with a thick bottom will work.

what meat can I use?

You can use any meat you like. I make it with beef, pork or chicken. Sometimes I even use a few different types of meat at once, whatever I have on hand. If you will be using beef or pork be sure to cook it longer once all the ingredients are in the skillet then I have indicated for the chicken.

how to make pan-fried potatoes with meat-

• Cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Season meat. Mix and set aside.
• Peel and cut potatoes into 4-5 strands. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
• Heat oil in a skillet over high heat.
• Once the oil is hot add half of the potatoes and fry on high heat until they are golden and have a crunchy outside, mix as necessary so all sides are cooked (about 8 minutes, they will not be fully cooked).
• Transfer to heat resistant bowl and cover. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Transfer the potatoes into the bowl and season. Mix well. Cover.

• Add the meat to the skillet and cook 8-10 minutes, until the meat has a crispy, golden outside.
• Meanwhile, clean carrot and pepper and cut into strands. Peel onion, slice in half.
• Once the meat is cooked, add garlic, onion, carrot, pepper, and potatoes.
• Turn heat down to low/medium, close lid and cook another 25-35 minutes.
• Gently mix during the cooking, not too often.
• Right before serving, add a handful of herbs to the skillet and close lid again.
• Enjoy immediately.
